In a car that is pretty close to VW bug size I think a SBF makes most sense.
However, have to look at all options and LS is one of those.
Size wise the SBF wins by a small amount. Both have been done.
It boils down to what works best for me.
Best = ease of swapping, total cost, drivability.

I don't need every variation, I do need something to go by. Still looking.
