Default What tranny is best for this swap?

Well in my search for buy a 240sx, I had a thought, I've seen swaps where people have put in the RB26DETT motor in, and I'm wanting to do the same but the 240sx I'm looking for is a 89-93 which I can't then use the transmission that would normally come from the Skyline GTR, so I guess my question would be what transmission would be best suited for an RB26 swap into an 89-93 240sx?

Alright lemme rephrase that, I remember reading somewhere that you couldn't use the AWD transmission that would normally come with the RB26 when you swap the motor into an S13 type 240sx. I was wondering what transmission you should use for a swap into something like a 1991 240sx hatchback when using an RB26DETT?

It's just an idea I'm playing around with, I want to do a swap but I'm not completely sure on which I'd rather do. I'm really tempted to go down the SR route as it's cheaper and with, I think, more parts available since it's a more popular swap.
