Default H22 Tranny / LSD Question

I've decided to ditch my original plans of boosting my f-series engine, and swap in a JDM H22a for now (and boost it later) into my 95' Honda Accord EX. I have the option of getting the H22a tranny with out or with an LSD. Which one should I get and why? They basically have the same gearing, except for 3rd gear. If I do get the LSD transmission (m2b4), what do I have to do in order to rebuild it or should the LSD be fine? I already have a Stage 3 clutch / lightweight flywheel that I'm going to install into it. Would I be better off getting the non-lsd tranny and installing a quafie lsd into it? Any help / suggestions to these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

John

Get a good tranny if you dont want to rebuild it, what's the point of buying a busted one anyway?

you will love the LSD trans paired with h22, it's like 5bills more and each dime is well spend on the tranny.

well, i would if i am in your situation.

well my question is ... will I have to rebuild the LSD or whatever? I have a Stage 3 clutch / lightweight flywheel that I'm going to install anyways. Basically, I dont really know how the LSD (limited slip differential) works and if it ever needs to be replaced or rebuilt. That's what I'm trying to find out ... cause I can get the LSD tranny for $250 more with my swap

LSD basically prevents both wheels to spin/turn at different speeds. Basically both wheels spin at the same speed.
