AP2 drivetrain parts are stronger, and the engines dont really make a difference, so an AP2 would probably be your best bet. (Glad you picked one up!)
The only thing I would look for if I were to buy another s2k would be to make sure I got an 06+ because the tuning solutions are just SOO much easier. 00-05 tuning solutions really suck, especially if you have emissions in your state.

differential housing is reinforced in the areas that are weak in the ap1 models.

I choose Hondata over AEM for a multitude of reasons, hi/low cam maps, more resolution, stock-like start up, Honda accel/decel algorithms, retain OBD2 capabilities and CELs. Haltech is a good option, but again, the simplicity and convenience of flashpro trumps it in my book, considering all these units will tune a car just fine for what 99% of us will be doing.

They dont seem different from a visual standpoint . I have seen ap2 diffs break with only 300whp . The clutch delay valve is the helper for the Ap2 diffs imo .

edit: forgot to mention, there is no smog in my homestate nor the state I currently reside in. In fact in my current state there's no vehicle inspections at all

Thanks for the input. Looks like it won't matter now, cause I just bought an AP2! lol
I found an amazing deal and simply couldn't pass it up, so I jumped on it. I won't be picking up the car for a couple months, but I'm stoked nonetheless!
