That really depends on what you're doing with it.

Boost? Stock? Trying for All motor?

How much experience do you have in building?

It's all what you're willing to spend and do.

Truth, a LS motor would also be a good cheap start and has large gains if built right.

To the OP, what are ur plans for ur crx, what are ur goals, and what is ur budget? That will determine what ur best route is.
