Default major motor dilema

ok here is the deal, i cant decide on the motor i want to get, as many of you are familiar with this feeling of uncertainty. for the longest time i was planning on going b20 turbo because of the price and availability of the motor but the more research i did, the more it didn't sound like a great idea. i would like to go gsr swap but they are soooo damn expensive BUT i could smog it easier and also i could go all motor or FI still make decent power. im just not sure and i have an awesome job now so i can finally start to work on my car. oh if you dont know already i have ls in there now and it has too many miles on it for FI

These are just my opinions:

For turbo go with an LS
For N/A go with an H22

I think that Prelude motors are even cheaper than GSR's and you can buya motor mount kit and bolt it right in.

ORRRR....you can rebuild...LS/VTEC works great whether you do turbo/or all motor..of course while it is apart, you can build it right for whatever you want..low compression for Turbo, or high for all motor. Either way it will be fun as hell....and a great learning experience.
