2014 Escape 2.0L Ecoboost Engine Replacement

Question, I have a 2014 Escape with the 2.0L engine, with 113,000 Miles. Have all the usual suspects, P0300, 301..., Loss of coolant, white smoke on startup. I know what the problem is, and the remedy. Engine Replacement. My question is what is the best route to go. Looking for options, but Ford Parts availability is non-existent. Should I go used, and can I go with a newer model engine (2018+), or do I have to stick with my model year? I've also looked into ATK reman engines, but not to sure on those.

What things should I be looking for in used or reman? What is the concensus remedy beyond being able to be covered under warranty, which I obviously cannot. I'm going to put an engine regardless. It will have a rebuilt transmission and engine replacement within the last year. If I can get some decent life out of it, I'll drive it till the wheels fall off.

Sometimes the cheapest is not the best.
If you know what caused the problem, just try to avoid walking into that problem again,,,,,,,,,,,,,if possible.
