Well my choices here are down only between the 2 types ACL's. Besides ACL has won my trust over, lasting me nearly 50,000 very hard driven miles .

Run whatever fits, ACL, Clevite, OEM if you have the cash, doesn't really matter.

how are you running the correct specs with all green bearings(ACL) when almost all honda cranks have different journals

you can line bore/hone it to all the same diameter and also resurface the crank. I never done it but have read where stephan papadaskis did for his h22 AEM civic. Well thats years ago so maybe it was a trial thing. Prolly didnt work thats why he's a drifffffffer now
