Biased opinion= 99-00 EX coupe. (and I saw your project thread saying you wanted one possibly)
I agree with supersize about the EM1 (stated in your project thread), I'd be too worried about someone wanting to steal it. EP3s aren't a favorite of mine.
Also, your insurance will probably go up from totaling the Civic, I chose the cheapest to insure from your list in the poll, too.

and i just want to get things straightened out, i didn't go through with insurance i dont have full coverage i have the cheapest just to get buy kind..(should of thought about that before i got the car -_- anyways)
EJ1 > everything on that list 
EJ8's are cheap, easy to slam, have one of the best single-cam engines honda has made, and parts are cheap and easy to find (HF manifold, anyone?). Not to mention the b16a2 creates 7 ft*lbs of torque more than the d16y8. That's not a lot.

and yeah that's true, but most efs and egs i see for sale look like garbage. the clean ones are easy the same price as the clean eks if not even more.

DF's are too old and come with too many problems... Eg's are simply better.
And you can mini me anything non vtec honda makes... and a boosted D is a lot better than a stock 1.6 liter b series
Edit:: Nobody try and correct me on the mini me ish, lol just making a point.

well being that is, i found a jdm b18b for $2900. i guess there rare and expensive but come on that's way cheaper than a b18c5 for about $4900. if you bought a jdm engine would it be rhd?

go with an EJ8, boost the y8.
D series + 10lbs will turn you out.
ps the b18b is a 1.8l engine thats what the two numbers stand for in honda engine codes, its the displacement of the engine. d16XX = 1.6 liters b16XX = 1.6 d15XX =1.5
