It really doesn't make much difference which kit you go with. They are all going to perform poorly in the stock Civic housings.

Well I like mine and so does everyone who rides in my car. It's not a retrofit but oh well...

What criteria are you judging them by? The stock Civic housings perform poorly even when the correct halogen bulbs are used. Installing a drop-in HID kit into them will yield a poor beam pattern with excessive glare and sub-par light dispersion and control, regardless of what "kit" is being used. If you want to upgrade the performance of the stock headlights, installing some high-quality halogen bulbs such as the Philips Vision Plus is the easiest option.

I know you've been here for a while and what not but seriously, there are a ton of threads about how poor the beam pattern is from '92-'00 stock Civic housings.
It's not worth it for you or your fellow drivers, if you don't want to do a retrofit there are very functional HID foglight kits available.

Re: H. I . D (ThaSi)
FWIW I had the Sylvania Xenarc HID fog kit on my old Sol, worked amazing, it was like I had three times the lighting of my original lamps. I could drive with my headlights off and my fogs on and see a clear improvement 
If you're still interested in going with HIDs in your headlights, do a quick search, like I said there are a ton of threads detailing the pros and cons and what you need to do to get the kind of lighting you'd expect with HID.
