whats the BEST???

a jet engine
but seriously... engines have different characteristics that can make them better for a certain application.
what are you looking for in the engine?
do you want to turbocharge and possibly build it, or do you want to build a naturally aspirated monster?

so engine build and high boost?
for turbocharging, i'm pretty sure you want an engine with low compression (compared to the other honda engines).
but since your building it, you can put in low compression pistons and stuff yourself.
h22a VTEC has like 200bhp stock, which is definitely a good number to start from.
Not sure how good it is for turbocharging, but i'd imagine that if you're building it it won't matter how it is in the beginning.
A popular motor for turbocharging is a B16A2 99-00 Civic Si engine or a B18C1 GSR Engine, so i'd say those are probably good for turbocharging.

anyway, back on topic now please
EDIT: i see you have your basic questions answered for the most part
for more info, do some searching around the net and on the forum and ask around
just remember, for turbocharging you want low compression engine build, then turbo... since it'll be a built engine, you'll be able to up your boost pretty high, which will help you crank out some massive HP
also, with that kind of power you're gonna want a stronger clutch
and yea, turbo is probably the best bang for the buck... it's very efficient. nitrous is cheaper, but then again you have to fill up your bottle all the time ($4 a pound of NO2 typically). on the other hand, turbo will cost you more, but you don't have to pay for the air it sucks in, which is basically what you have to do for nitrous.
depending on how long you have the setup, nitrous will cost more in the long run due to filling up the bottle, and to get massive numbers out of nitrous you'd have to get an expensive direct-port setup with a few bottles.
