Is it smart to do this kind of swap?

 

Well, if you're putting a b18B in a 4th gen civic / 2nd Gen CRX your best bet is to use the cable tranny. They're pretty much geared the same anyways.

 

if you have the hydro tranny i would use that, better than cables

No there not, the transmissions are made no different. Only the clutch actuators are different. You can't put a hydro transmission in an ED chassis anyways, well not easily.

Yes you can put a B serries hydro tranny in a 4th gen Civic. Hasport makes a kit.

Its harder to find good cable trannies. From what I've heard parts are no longer available for rebuilds on them.... Don't quote me on that. If you can, get a hydro tranny being that parts are readily available.
