Default H22 or F20b... Which is easier?

With tax returns on the horizon, I finally plan to swap my F23 for a H22 or F20b. I'm ok with using either engine, I just want to know which is an easier to swap. I've done some research into doing the swap but haven't really found which is easier, granted a engine swap is not easy. Any help is appreciated!!!

Do you want a motor that doesn't exist in the United States or do you want a motor that exists in the United States?

That on its own should persuade you which to get if you haven't decided based on anything else. FYI there's tons of F20B vs H22 threads on here.

H22 is the easiest and most common swap ever compared to an F20B. I've heard about the wiring nightmares others had when they did the F20B swap.

LOL wiring nightmares!!! I've pretty much decided that which ever is easier to wire I'll be doing. Probably be using a hondata cpu as well. Is there anything that I need to take into account when using one?
