Default K-Swap into RHD DB8

I have the luxury of working for a salvage yard, and I am wondering which donor vehicle would provide the best K-swap for my DB8. I plan on buying an entire car, then selling what I don't need. I have an extensive knowledge of b-series, and I currently run a 96-spec JDM Type R setup. I'm looking to go special k. LOL. I have heard that certain motor mount kits will only allow you to use certain gearboxes, but all I am looking for right now is the right candidate for a complete swap. Upgrades will come later, but I do want a 6-speed. Should I get an RSX-S or a TSX 6-speed? I know the TSX runs a drive by wire TB, which is no problem cause I'd switch to a throttle cable TB anyways. I plan on getting a rywire harness, so I am not worried about electronics. Someday this motor will end up being high compression N/A and shooting for 250 at the wheels. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone.
