What it really comes down to is what the OP wants to do. If you're going boost, B18C1 all the way. If NA, you could do C1 as well, but if you got money, get the C5. [/$0.02]
why would you spend that much more money to get a little different crack and 35-40 HP?? i see your point on the suspension and shit but youre talking apples to oranges.
