Tough choice Danny, which teg you looking at? If its a toss up between the DC2 and DC5 I'd go for the DC2 all day, I've driven a DC5 and wasn't that impressed with it. EK9 or DC2 though, too hard to call.
I had both, can't really say enough good things about either of them. I prefered the Integra type R from the Civic...don't know why..handling is spot on...they make a fair amount of racket with the oul right foot planted - great fun! a good lot of juice left in both cars past 80 mph

Im probbaly being bias but would go for what i did and get an EK9 and put ITR engine in. I personally prefer the EK9 but i also love the DC2 so its a close one... Hatch back or coupe thats the question. DC2 is faster out the box for sure.... Thats why civic with ITR engine, very fast car, you would be surprised just how quick it is.... Handling on both cars are pretty spot on too...
EK9 will only make around 165-170BHP MAX on B16B even with basic upgrades, Ive been to dyno meets/seen it for myself so i know first hand. ITR engine will make around 190-200, mine made 200BHP. So ITR engine is a massive upgrade.
Hope that helps in someway.

you wont be dissapointed with a dc2 ITR they are very quick cars in stock trim especially in the right hands, handling is pretty much bang on out the box. one thing i will say though is you may get bored if your used to turbo power.. nothing compares to forced induction in my opinion, but vtec is far more fun to drive in comparison to normal N/A engine'd cars.
ek9 are also good but i personally dont like the b16 engine as you have to drive it so hard to get anything out of it. both cars are wicked in stock trim though, both are well put together cars with well designed motor's and remain very reliable even though quite highly tuned from factory
forced induction + vtec is awesome though, best of both worlds. i bought mine with the intention of turbo'ing it, ive had quite a few high powered turbo motors over the years and my turbo dc2 is by far the most fun and enjoyable to drive, and more importantly i find it a pleasure to work on. nothing worse than a car thats a bastard to work on.
