If you have a bias, you are *biased*, not "bias"!
I'd definitely try to get an '04/'05 2.2 liter. Just don't take it to 9k all the time! 8500-8600 should be a safe limit, with occasional excursions to 9k. I think...

OP hasn't been on in 4 days so I doubt he's still reading this, but here I go:
For general purpose, the F22C is the better choice. The larger displacement offers an earlier powerband and a flatter torque line. The F22C is also considered to have a more robust valvetrain than the F20C.
The only time an F20C might be a better choice is if you're planning on going very high HP on a stock engine. The lower rod length and higher redline helps keep the car in the same gear longer, and therefore also in the boost plot.
