Re: Which engine should I swap to
Going the CA18DET route on my 67.5, motor is refreshed and ready to go. Also have a SR20 (non-turbo) on a stand as well, will keep for another project.
One of the issues with these engines is because of age (25-30 years old) that OEM parts are drying up as I had to order timing parts and gasket kits from several suppliers. Australia has an active parts and tuner community for these Nissan engines and you can get new and aftermarket parts shipped up... costs vary.

Re: Which engine should I swap to
I always admired the CA-18, especially in turbo form. I understand that they were quite robust, though one has to be aware that it has a timing belt that must be changed on time. I think they are a great engine for a Roadster.
