Also, cross anything Hype-R off your list. Hype-R is a Hype engine, it's comprised 99% of GSR or B16 parts with a post job so mild as to be unworthy of mention, the only thing unique to the Hype-R are the pistons, cams, and valves. The cams are the only thing worth owning, well no they aren't when GSRs can be had for $40-60 and are known good to 600 whp.
I like LS engines, A LOT, but there are three things to be aware of. One, the stock intake valves are 31mm and act as a restriction past 400 and a bottleneck past low 5-600's depending on cam/etc - 3G prelude 33mm intakes drop right in after you modify the seat some. Two, they are not a girdle engine so you need to fit a girdle or run a girdle block (GSR) if you want to break 500 with any long term reliability. Three, the stock cams are a form of failure and should be thrown away for anything past 250 whp streetcar duty.
You really need to state budget and power goal if you want quality input.

Re: Which B-Series Motor to go with?
B18A1 sleeves are garbage, if you tear off the head to do the overcomplicated and expensive LS/VTEC hassle $5 says large chunks of aluminum are chipped/chipping away from the sleeve liners.
I would have kept the SOHC B20A and done a mild cam, B16-flanged AEBS IM, etc. The iron block will get you further.
