I think Honda is a better choice because many people don't see how great they are. If you look in race books or on the Internet you have a old school SOHC which is a single over head cam (CAM GEAR) can push more horsepower then a DOHC which is a Dual over head cam. In other words you have a CRX which a SOHC that with time and work can push 500 to 600 horsepower easy and they last forever. Also you can order anything for a Honda over the Internet and it will be there in a day. I have a 2000 Honda civic Si that has 526 HP.
