it depends...if you are going all motor then use a b16 tranny, a ctr tranny would be ideal!!! but if you want to go turbo eventually then go with somthing with longer gears.....like an ls tranny.

well with a b16 tranny you will revving high as hell on the highway
i would use a gsr tranny because it has shorter gears than an ls but has a higher 5th for crusing

try to find an ITR tranny - LSD, and you can also get the JDM FD for shorter gearing..

Any VTEC Tranny will do it all depends on what type of set-up you'll be going with... N/A or Turbo.....

My $0.02?

A GSR transmission with an LS fifth gear with a Quaife LSD.
Why? Best of all worlds. LSD diff with bulletproof construction. Easily available USDM parts, decent gear ratios (not perfect, but good), and a decent "cruise" gear for interstate travel.

The JDM ITR transmission is better, no doubt. But, if you have to get it worked on, you will need an experienced professional and it will require imported parts (not cheap), and the high cruise has high RPM and "poor" (relatively, of course) MPG.

Just my ideas.

For all motor I would recommend a GSR tranny with JDM final drive.

The LS fifth is only one gear in the set. Other than being a pain in the butt to do, how does this "ruin" the transmission?

i would agree with the GSR being the better tranny to use with the addition of the LS 5th. without it it still revs too high for highway driving. you'll pull hard to 200km/h(not sure of the mph) but after that, you can say hello to your rev limiter(7400 stock LS ecu).
