Well, I can think of a few important questions.
1) what is you budget?
2) what do you want to use the car for?
3) is this your only car?
At nearly 200K it's time to make some descisions about what you want out of the car. Another, newer F23 or an F22 is super cheap, and probably the best way to go if you only want a few more years out of the thing. An H22 is also easy, but significantly more expensive, and may involve more than seems immediatly apparent.
Heed the warning of someone who once swapped a B16 into a really high miliage Civic, when the power starts going up, the need for R&R to things like the brakes, cooling system, and suspension start to become very clear. Not to sound discouraging at all, since old stock parts can be replaced by more fun aftermarket ones, just take a good look at the car and think about what may be needed.

i would go with a h22 rather than a f23. If your going to spend money spend it on something good, reliable,powerful.In the end you'll be a lot more happy.Im not saying go out and spend a ton of money, but go and buy something that will make you happy. affordable but still happy.remeber dont go to cheap. in the end it will suck.
