Default which motor to get?

heres my situation. Im getting a swap this summer. either b16, b18a/b or maybe a b20. I need a motor that will be quick stock until i get a turbo or supercharged setup during the next summer. how fast (1/4 mile) will either of these motors be in an 89 civic dx hb. which one would be the most reliable with and without the turbo.

GSR B18c1 all the way. It'll give you the satisfaction you need with out the turbo.
