Default EJ8 Coupe Swap Possibilities

Asking this for a friend, and I've been looking through the stickied swap post up top as well. He's ready to do his first Honda swap and we're currently just looking through the options. Car is a 1999 EX coupe, so that would be I believe the OBDII P2P ECU d16?

A couple (cliche) options he is considering are an OBDII B16 swap, B20 swap, and maybe LS?

We're not really concerned with the swapping of the motor part at this point, what we're "stumped" on is wiring. Does Rywire sell harnesses for these swaps?

What ECU would you run in:
-A B20?
-An LS? (stock LS ecu?)
-A B16A2? (P2T?)

If he ever went with an LS/CRVTEC setup, I think I remember reading that it doesn't really matter what ECU you use, as none of them will be as efficient as a custom tune?

Thanks for any help guys...
