If I were you, I would get the hatchie, and spend your money on a JDM B18C or USDM B18c1. Excellent torque numbers and good whp out of the factory, and well worth it IMHO. good luck w/ whatever you choose.
EDIT: All three motors love boost, but the B18 is GREAT for both NA or FI.
b16a romps all over the d15b in every area...not to mention that the b16a has way more potential.
if anything though I would get the b18b over either choices.
