I would find a good independant with a good reputation. Go and ask a couple for quotes some may charge you for an hours shop time. This should be explained to you before you start.
Get a system pressure test and if the gage pulses you have a blown head gasket. If the engine is missing badly with white smoke its almost certain its a leaking head gasket. Normally oil runs to the head and a leaking head gasket will also cause loss of oil.
You can also pull the head and take it to a machine shop for cleaning, valve job and resurfaced.
A radiator shop can do a gas analysis and tell you for sure if a head gasket is leaking.
