Default Cable vs. Hydro tranny w/B20

i gotta dumb question but as the title states, can either a cable or hydro tranny be used with a b20? i ask only because someone told me i would have to use a cable tranny with a b20 swap...

i hear some ppl rave about the cable tranny and others the hydro. witch one is really better overall and why?

thanks in advance

there isnt one that is "better"
its best to choose the one that works with your car

pre 92 - cable
92+ hydro

i think he was saying if your car was pre obd/ built before 1992 then they would use cable transmission. 1992 and up used hydrolic style transmissions

example:

4th gen civic 1988-1991 = Cable tranny
5th gen and up 1992-00 = hydro tranny

i hear that cable trannys have better gear ratios. id take a y1 lsd tranny anyday. but they are also hard to come by and sometimes the same prices as hydro trannys. its prefrence i guess.
