B18, like 98civdx said though i would go through and replace the seals and gaskets when you replace the piston/rods etc. It will only be reliable if you take the time to build it right.

What is your wallet saying??
Judging from the HP numbers your pockets must be decently deep and I would personally go with a B16 but that is my prefference. I just like it cause it's rev happy.
Most will tell you B18c1 cause it's a little better and have more capabilities with it when compared to the B16 but see what you can find or what is available on your neck of the woods.
Get what you want not what others tell you, don't follow the bandwagon on anything instead make your own path cause it's your car.

I would go with the b16 as well. That's just because I like to rev like "crx t-si". Really though. the block doesn't matter if your plan on a sleeved one. Then you can attain the same displacement with either. With 10 g's, you should get more than 450. Especially if you build it yourself. GL man!
