Just get whichever one you like the looks of best (and that fits your budget). There are pros and cons to all models, but if you plan on modifying the car, most of them mean little. The 95+ does have a slightly better suspension setup and is a tad more rigid, but it's heavier. Everything else is pretty subjective. Good luck!

If you are taller than 6 foot, S14 with sunroof can be annoying for head clearance.

If you plan on an engine swap, OBDII starts in mid 1996 models and if you live where you have to pass emissions plug-in test, it is not going to happen with SR, RB, CA engines.

S14 can fit wider wheels / tire in back without any mods - 10.5's are easy, on S13 9.5's are easy.

S14 has 5 lug wheels stock on many trims.

S13 has no airbags.

97 98 S14 has great looking OEM nose, aero/skirts in SE trim.
