Default H23 tranny on H22 swap

Going to get an H swap soon into my EGand the donor car has an H23 tranny though becuase the original motor was a H23 non vtec 4th gen replaced with the H22A1. I was also considering doing H2B but with the kaizenspeed balancer shaft eliminator, kit, and a decent tranny I'm look at 1600-2k more. I know with a GSR or B16 tranny on there the thing is going to be a rocket and I know with the H23 the best I could probably see with bolt on's is 13.5, but I never take it to the quarter mile. The car would be daily driven to and from work a mile away, and then to my GF's house after work which is all highway.

Just wondering if I'll hate the H23 trans in my EG coupe, if it had the H22 trans I'd just go for that. I know I would love the H2B, but I don't want something that does 4400 RPM at 65 on the freeway, lol. The other thing is the hood prop, I don't mind the way it looks but it's a thief magnet no matter how OEM your car looks otherwise.

So realistically my main question is: If I swap it in there with the H23 trans, will the gear ratios be way too long and will I hate it? I know it's not as bad as an F tranny but is it still going to be too much? I know ahead of time half the answers are going to be "Go H2B." but that's not what I'm asking.

Also, could someone give me the gear ratios for the tranny on a USDM 94 EX coupe with a D16Z6 5 speed for comparison? And how will it compare to the gear ratios in my D right now? They aren't bad but I wish they were a bit longer, especially first.

Edit: And I have searched, extensively. I just made a thread because I couldn't find an answer to my particular question. I also couldn't find any D series tranny ratios lists.
