easy... B series
EG's are designed to have either a B or D series engine in the engine bay-PERIOD.
H-series are not meant for the EG chassis , or else the Honda would have made it that way. I'll probably get bashed for saying that hehe.

I'll stick to my guns though - D or B-series for EG only.

Also, there's a lot more performance parts for B-series engines over H-series anyways. H-series parts are expensive to!

Actually...if u were to beef up an eg's suspension with a h22 swap....wouldn't it be a pretty decent daily driver?
