Default engine dispute?

Hey, guys I want your opinoin because me and my friend are having argument on his 1995 2-dr. Honda civic ex. He wants to make a engine swap so i told him to to do an GSR swap and he said GSR suck and he wants to put a SOHC LS motor with turbo what do you guys think is better.

Yea, he should probably know what engine is what before making such a swap.

My money would be on the LS, IF it is done right.
