I would use a Honda D15z1 from a Civic VX or a D15 from Japan, it's pretty close to the D15z1 only it has the 3 stage V-tec head and a different intake but I think it is otherwise pretty close to being the same engine block, the D15z1 is around 92hp at 5,500rpm and the D15 is said to be 128hp at 7,000rpm.
These engines tend to last 300,000 miles, unlike some of your other options, this also makes them cheap and common.
