I've heard the ls transmission is better for turbo cars because of the wider gears, I'd get the civic one right now and keep the ls transmission in case you go turbo and want the wider spaced gears.

It all depends on how you like it. If you're getting a steal on the B16 tranny, then buy it and try it out. If you don't like it you may be able to sell it for more than you paid for it, if you do like it, then good.
