Default Which Motor For Swap

I am For sure I am going to swap out my D15b7 In my 95 civic DX. I found a Complete LS B18B swap from a 95 teg. It will run $2000. Should I do this or go for the B16a2,3..... This will run About 5 to 6 hundred More. I figure I can put that money into building up a B18b. WHICH SWAP WOULD BE MY BEST BET, considering money, power, and long-term capabilities????

no thats about what there running for a full swap now.
it all depends on what your final goals are. the b18b has torque but no HP. the b16 has HP but no torque.
