I'd say revhard.

Better turbo (precision)
Better manifold (the drag manifold is the shittiest in the FI world)

I say search as well. This is one of the biggest topics around. Both are good, i pick RevHard due to pirce as well as that they now come with Precision Turbos. Im ordering one but with out the manifold, turbo, and BOV. But definately search!!!

well... a friend and i are just finishing up a revhard kit for a friend on a 99-00 ex civic with the stock d16. omg it's been a mission...

-had to cut 3 of the intercooler pipes
-had to dremel away some of the turbine housing to clock it right with the oil feed and oil drain set right
-wastegate was like making love to the a/c lines so i had to mod the brackets and pull it forward... still leaning on it.
-the kit came with no intake pipe and filter, no dumptube, no fittings for the wastegate, unfinished downpipe with no o2 bung

the guy bought the kit a while ago and his came with a T3. I did a drag kit for another friend on a 96 civic with a b18c. had the same problems pretty much with the manifold and one of the pipes. Custom owns...

A friend and I are installing a rev hard kit on a civic ex right now. i had to cut three intercooler pipes to get it to fit, we had to shave the turbine housing to get the turbo to clock properly with the fitting for the feed in place, the wastegate hits the a/c lines, the wastegate didnt come with any fittings for vacuum hoses, the downpipe sits on the oil pan when installed, the couplings didnt fit right, and it didnt come with the right size clamps, and also it had no dump for the wastegate. so other stuff i cant remember too.

i've never installed a drag kit so i dont know if its any better.
