Depends. Do you want cheap easy B-series, or are you willing to spend a bit more and do a little more work. B18A if you are cheap, B16A if you want something better.

Crxtra88, are you from Glendale, CA? If so, just letting you know, jdm engines have smog law issues in California i.e. b16a. You can swap one into your car but you'll have to bring it to a smog referee to look at it in order to pass inspection, a visual test and etc....
