Default i have a crashed BB1 \ H22A1 whats a good swap

at the moment i have a crashed 96 prelude BB1 H22A1 sitting in my garage. luckily it was crashed from the back so the motors still fine . i have already found a shop that's going to do the engine swap for me since i heard its a b*tch there a good shop and they did my bros k24 swap and it came out perfectly. the only thing im having trouble with is finding and choosing what shell id like to put it in. so id like to know what other people would do if they were in my situation. the only shells Ive had in mind right now is either my friends old 93 Del sol(it had a h23 in it but he blew the motor) or a 95 integra that i saw on craigslist( had a stock b18 but blew the motor)
i generally like all Honda shells and im not very picky when it come to looks
im currently a student so i want a shell that's not gonna give me to many problems after the swap (i heard h22 swaps mess up peoples axles especially on hatchbacks)
any info will help and be much appreciated

Anything other than a Prelude or Accord will have some type of fitment issues, so you should purchase a good set of mounts, i.e. Hasport.

If there is a local shell that had an H23, it would probably be a good start, if it is in good shape and you like that style.

Personally, if a swap is over your skill level, I would suggest just sticking with a car that has not been modified like that, then you can also diagnose and/ or fix it if a problem arises.
