VTEC would be cheaper, have lots of hp still and be more economic/reliable.
Update:
I can't find it anywhere on the site, but are the prices I was quoting in US or Canadian dollars? I'm guessing thats $3000 Canadian, right?

Well with that setup, since it comes with a hydro tranny, Id buy the long block from hmotors (its like $1800 I think, and yes USD) , and get an LSD cable B16A tranny... This way you do not have to convert to hydro...
The long block:

Youd still need all the other parts tho, like axles from a 91-93 Integra, shift linkage, mounts, ECU, ect... Thats why its so cheap as long block, its missing the ECU, axles and what not... But if u call them im sure they will work with you... Basically tell them u want the GSR change over, but you want to stay cable, can you get a cable LSD tranny from a B16A with the axles... And see how much it is... If you dont do that, the kit to change over to hydro is $475 from them for the HASport convertion kit... I think you may need a different shift linkage anyways for the EF...
Ohhh I just found this great write up on the subject, has B16 and B18, and theyre from a guy whose VERy knowledgeable in swaps... Infact my OBD1 conversion harness was made by him...:
