Which K swap is easiest??

ive looked all over and search the read articles but cant find anything that says whats easiest to swap. I have a 01 ex manual trans. d17a2 I was a k swap but i want the easiest one to do. I will be doing it all myself since noone in cali seems to be willing to tackle it.
Im looking for the closest to drop in that you can get. I understand none are simple but which one is easiest, k20? k24? k24/k20 hybrid? Il be doing the wiring also so id like that to be included in the grand scheme of how difficult the swap is?
any help is much appreciated,
Also hows the driveability with that swap in?

Call Pick"N"Pull and they charge about 50 bucks to take a stripped shell off your hands. Thats what most wrecking yards charge here in the Sacramento, CA Area.

If u do a K20 swap into an automatic tranny civic, can u use the clutch pedal, brake pedal, clutch master cylinder, clutch fluid reservoir, clutch lines, etc. from an RSX or do they have to be from a 5sp civic?
