Actually, B18C will hold more power in a reliable fashion, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go with the B18A.
Define your power goals, where you want to take the car, and finances. For a street application you may opt out for the B18A... due to it's low revving nature, you'll be making more low to midrange torque than the B18C can hold, in a streetable application, which is easy to drive and pretty swift.
You can also sell the B18C for about 2.5 GOOD LS engines. If you plan on driving the car a lot and being hard on it, having a backup engine - a cheap readily available one - is a nice thing.
