To make a long story short...........thought I had intake manifold leak. I was wrong. Opened it up oil & antifreeze every. A real mess. OK here's where the advise part comes in...............it's a 95 with 91,000 miles on it. Do I do a valve job. Or just say screw & put in a new engine? Opinions please!

Coolant is not friendly to bearings. It really depends on how long it has been in there as to how much life there is left in the bearings. Your first problem is probably blown head gaskets. With that many miles, the safest thing would be to go through the whole engine.
with that sig I figured wither a female or a ricer
OK - with the coolant everywhere you'll likley have done some damage to the main and cam bearings - so while a "new " engine may be overkill - I recommend pulling this one and getting the bearings done. good time for that new cam too
I pulled mine at 80K miles and it needed new cam bearings and that was without any head gasket issues.
do it know and it will be good for another 100K miles.
However - if you do not plan on keeping the car that long - replace the gaskets and sell it. The economics don't support a rebuild now and selling next year.
