definitely go with a h22, i believe that's all the 5th gen came in. why would you want to downgrade?

pro: F22 trannies are less expensive than H22 trannies.
con: You'll probably have to custom fab the passenger side tranny mount, as the 5th gen tranny mount is probably not going to work. There may be other fabrication involved that I don't know about.
