Default 95 dx. h22a or b16a?

im shopping on hmotors online and trying to decide which motor to drop into my 1995 civic dx hatchback. Its a toss up between the H22A or the B16A SiR-II. My thoughts in mind are cheapest and easiest to install. My ultimate goal is to compete with my friends 04 RSX type-s. might be unreachable but i still want to attempt. please respond with advice.
thanks
nate

From what I have learned, the b18 would be the best choice. The H22 requires new engine mounts and is a hassle to install. Some one please corrent me if I am wrong though.

For ease of install, definately B16, but for power H22A. You just have to decide which is more important to you. If you had the H22A w/ LSD option, you'd beat a stock RSX Type-S without much trouble at all.
