Default getting a new trans, which one?

Ok, so my LS transmission is gone. Im thinking about sinking $1800 into a brand new one from Honda. Heres my dilema, the LS, GSR, and ITR trans are all the same price. So should I go for the type R transmission since it has LSD?? or should i just stick with a stock LS one?? Id like to later build the engine up for LSVtec. Would it be bad to run a ITR trans on a stock LS motor?? Thanks

ITR for sure. Shorter gear ratios make for faster acceleration and it has LSD, which is always a plus.

If they are all the same price, ITR without question. The only disadvantage is reduced gas milage.
