Your best bet is a '94-'97 B18C1 GSR motor if you're looking to do this swap. Your car was designed for OBD1 and the motor you're thinking of is OBD2. The swap's possible, but there's extra sensors, wiring, and a different ECU to factor in to change your car from OBD1 to OBD2. OBD is basically just an environmental system and the second generation ODB had more junk to it. The '94-'97 GSR motors are OBD1, so it'll be less of a headache to install.
As for which motor is
best, well that's something entirely different. If you really want to know which motor to get, you have to look at one thing and one thing only: what is your ultimate goal with the car? Drag car? Reliable daily driver? Really friggin' fast? Moderate gains in power and handling? AutoX?
Have to figure out what you want to do with it in the long run and then build your plan from there. The B18C1 is a strong motor though - a good upgrade for your Civic.
