How many miles are on his ? of road or hard usage ?
If the guy is seriously considering 4wd, then the only sensible option is to go 4wd right from the outset.
To start with a 2wd box then try and adapt later...just seems silly. Although with the right 2wd box it would be sellable to recoup costs to go 4wd.
A lot of guys have put good power through standard R33 GTR boxes ? So on a budget that would be an option, or worst case buy a set of internals for the R33 box ?
value for money....simple old RWD box, a T56 Magnum is hard to beat though. I'd go for one of those long before any of the 5 speed TKO's
Even in the UK this seller seems to list them at a sensible price, but they're around $3k in the US. Being US made it should even be easy to get some sort of bellhousing adaptor to move to a T5 type fitment ? as these things are used on all sorts by everyone.

ratios would also be a bit nicer than some of the TKO's and internals a much much better design, so the Magnum will shift much much better than any TKO.
