I dont know where this info of T18's not handling came from,
I have a 1980 TE72 T18 with sway bars front and rear,
lowering springs (not cut springs) and 4 wheel disc brakes
and it handles like its on rails and stops no problem,
brakes better than my last car which was a 2000 Daewoo Lanos Sport, as for the engine, mine has a 2TGEU in it, unmodded and goes just fine, this engine will also take the GZE supercharger unit with little trouble (4SFED has done this)
I rate the T18 very highly for driveability and handling (dont know what a standard one handles like, but sway bars are cheap)
another bonus with this engine is that being an older injected engine you can use whatever fuel you like (ie. super, unleaded or premium), some cheapish mods to instantly produce more power is to put a 3T crank in it as it goes straight in, mine hasnt got one but ive read up on it, other stuff is to put bigger injectors in, aftermarket ECU if your so inclined, the list goes on...
just my 2c
Go the T18!!!!

-cheers
