What car to get, new used or otherwise

Well my 98 Civic EX got totalled in an head-on accident last night, luckily Im ok aside from some bruises and stiffness. I also have an 06 STi I was planning to sell so I now have the option to trade that in plus use the money from the insurance company for the Civic to put towards something new or used if I find something I like. So the question is, what do I get? Here are some of the cars Im thinking:

Honda Fit
Civic Hybrid
New Honda Insight? need to see in person and test drive
99-00 Civic
Prius? I really dont think Id get one, just dont like them

What else would you all recommend looking into if you were in my position.

I like to mod cars so Id like something that has some semblance of an aftermarket and I would prefer a stick shift which I dont beleive the Prius is offered with. As long as I can average 40mpg a tank Ill be happy which is about where I was with the Civic...anything above that is really just a bonus.
