After long hours and research on the vg33er i was convinced that it was my best choice, I had even planned to go to the pull-a-part and get all my parts to make it... untill one night i was looking at vg33er jdm engines, and found out how cheap a rb20 could be had for, I descided that for the due to having the whole subframe swap that it was not worth it to me. I know many say that the rb will be just as much work. However many of you have read in my post that i am a very skilled machinist and draftsman. I also have been looking at doing suspension in the NEAR future after talking to Colin about it i found out just how scary it is to have crap brakes on a rb swaped s12. well here is my link to my engine set that i just bout i plan to do the basic tune up, along with help from my dad and older brother.

SKS12:  Id say go for an sr.  It drops right in with little/no modifications  

I just wanted to say, from hearing horror stories from ppl, make sure you know who ur buying ur engine from.  I dont know how many ppl Ive heard bad stuff about ebay engines.  Unless you plan on doing a complete rebuild I wouldnt put all my eggs in one basket, especially a basket off of ebay    Good luck with the build!
