Default What engine to boost?

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and was wondering about boosting an engine...I have a 98' Civic DX hatchback and i'm going to be swaping in an engine sometime soon. My plans are to use a Full Race 500hp turbo kit on it in the future but was wondering if i should go for the B16B and replace the pistons so that it can handle the boost but still rev high or go with a B18C1 GSR motor and not do much to it? The Full Race site says that they're 500hp kit works on a stock motor. Then there is the B16A which would allow me to swap and get the turbo quicker. What do you guys recommend?
