Man this is a tough one...I'd have to go with NA though. Yeah, turbo is bad *** but NA overall is the better choice IMO.
EDIT: This is if you have a B/H series swap though. You stock motor guys better pick turbo or nothing at all

I voted NA, since I'm NA now... but not for too long. Car is down and ready to hank the motor and build for turbo. The costs are relatively similar but the hp is much higher on turbo. Since I don't drive my EH2 daily, i don't mind the wear n' tear that boost may do. however, my motor will be ready for it.

NA is cool and all, but for that first time, nothing beats turbo. the spooling of the turb, the instant rush when the boost kicks in, it's unmatchable. NA can be great as well if you plan it out and know what you're doing.

imo a turbo puts out too much power for our light hatches, i can just picture myself going through a set of tires in 6 months

All honda motors were made for NA. If you want it to run turbo the right way, then you would have to be changing a whole lot of parts to make it run right. If I were to get a turbo car it would probably be something that came with a turbo from the factory, and the I'd upgrade it.

Re: turbo vs. N/A in your EG/EH (RK)
Yeah, I'd have to say all motor. If you take the time to build a car up all motor, it can be pretty amazing. Going turbo is cool for some people, but if I went that route it would be on something other than Honda that has motors designed for turbo systems. I'm not knocking on Honda's with turbos since many people on this board know what they are doing and can build motors correctly for forced induction and show some really impressive time slips. Its just not my fancy. I prefer N/A But you can definitely make some power with a turbo

Re: turbo vs. N/A in your EG/EH (EhSiRk92)
in my opinion u can really only build an engine such as these (b/h) so much, i'm running a 96 b18b with mild mods in my 93 civ, with no dyno i'd hope i'm running sumwhere around 170@ the crank. now i am planing on building my engine, but only to support a turbo system in the future. i can only really see someone getting 250 maybe more out of a built b18c/h22a. an effective turbo system can see as much as 70% gains, where in my car, it would currently place it around 280.. if built, higher.. i can't afford to do any of the mentioned, now or most likely in the near future, its theory for the time being.. but it really depends on your wants and needs, daily driver, or fun machine, coupled with your budget.. should solve your problem.

also, more power isn't always answer, its fun, but putting the power to the groudn is sumthin to look into as well. a new vicious LSD, mouts, braces, or suspension will help ya put all ur juice to the floor..

Re: turbo vs. N/A in your EG/EH (EhSiRk92)
I would have to say turbo.....i used to want to go the NA route and i respect those who do, honestly. But when u have a turbo u can think about contending with the big boys, the cars that have turbos from factory or the V8's.
But i just say try both, after i rode in a turbo eclipse, the sound of the turbo spooling is just sick, let alone the blow off valve....im still waiting to hear a wastegate. Plus i seem to get swallowed by the sit when they accelerate.
just my 2 cents
