Re: whats best
What exactly are you confused about?
PRICE: This is different for everyone, my budget isn't your budget, etc. Your budget will dictate what is practical for you.
VERSATILITY: You can do whatever you want to whatever engine you want, your budget will dictate if you WILL do whatever you want.
POWER: You can research stock specs yourself. If you want more power out of a particular motor then you will have to invest more money. Again your budget will dictate this.
DIFFICULTY TO WORK WITH: It's all nuts and bolts to me, a better question is how extensive is your existing knowledge of engine swaps?

Re: whats best
As stated above, it all depends, really hard to say.
But I'll just go ahead and say the B18C (gsr) would be more or less the best. For debatable reasons, but no one can say it would be a bad idea.
