Get a uk if you can afford it and its in good condition?
If not go for the highest speced import ( ST ). The JDM's need more options throwing at them e.g. band expander or new radio, some don't come with brembo brakes, exhaust is quieter as in the intake. Also you need JOBD to read codes not obd2.
UK if you can, but I'd personally take a good condition import over a ragged uk spec. Also insurance is the same.
