Which engine to go???

Hi,
I am new to the site and new to the world of Toyota's. (Nissan mainly so far)
I just bought a OZ Spec Sprinter for $900 it's in good condition, but paint is a bit ordinary (anyway that doesn't matter)
I bought it to be a drift car mainly, it will still be registered and driven regularly. I can't decide what engine i want to go. Although i won't proberly being changing it until christmas i want to make up my mind so i can get some parts together.
THE CHOICES:
4AGE: 80-88kw, not really an option i don't think
4AGE: 100kw, thinking very hard about this one, maybe do a few mods and just have fun. Hopefully be quite reliable and i won't feel guilty reving the shit out of it regularly. Should be a cheap conversion, but how much cheaper than more powerful engines. Cheap aftermarket parts. Concerned that i will want more power in the future. Engine doesn't have any cheap power options in the future.
4AGZE: Wasn't considering this until i talked with a few people, but it seems like it is a real challenger now. I imagine the supercharger would produce good torque for drift. Enough scope for power in the future.
20Valve: Latish model engine that produces good power. Similiar price to 4AGZE. NA reliability.
3SGTE: Imagine it would be a expensive conversion. Is it worth it?
CA18DET: My favourite engine in the world. Would love to do this, concerned the costs would add up though. Would feel guilty reving the shitter out of it all the time, But makes great power for little money.
What do you guys think, is there any other engines worth considering. Am i overlooking anything with these engines. +'s & -'s of any engine.
Any help/opinions/examples would be greatly appreciated.
Also why do very few people run coil overs on the rear of AE86's.
Thanks guys and sorry for the long post.
