The SE is basically an LX with a few addition features, such as CD and moonroof. EX had 145HP VTEC SOHC 2.2L, DX/LX/SE had a 130HP SOHC 2.2L.

For performance get the LX
Suspension is basically the same except the LX doesn't have a rear sway bar.
The EX makes 15 more horsepower and has VTEC.
The LX is lighter without the sunroof.
The LX and EX 5spd is the same.
Reasons to get the EX:
Looks better in terms of wheels, moldings, stock exhaust (most of which will be changed anyway)
Better platform if your going to stay F22.
Sunroof.
Rear Disc Brakes and ABS.
