I'd go with a B18A. As long as it's a 90-91, then the wiring shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Also, I'd rather have the torque for the heavier four door. With the basic bolt-ons, your car should be fun to drive. JMO.

the 4dr is only 135lb heavier
and 11 inches longer ( which is basically the trunk )

135lbs isnt that much for 2 extra doors and a trunk

but it will only be a bit slower then a hatch but not that much.. on any swap
