ZZ engines are typically prohibitively expensive for most MK1 owners. For the cost you may be better off looking into a 3S-GTE.
The 20 valve and the GZE will be the easiest to perform, and the 20v is very close in weight to the stock GE.

Cool, thanks. Is there a noteable difference when driving the 20v 4AGE compared to the 16v? I think the website that Traintech posted said the hp of the silvertop and blacktop was lower than quoted by Toyota (~145).
The GZE sounds like it has a fun amount of torque, but do you have to use the E51? I've read it's pretty heavy.
Truthfully, I don't really need anything really powerful since at the moment I probably wouldn't have much time/money to go to the track very often, maybe 150 whp or so, while keeping it light and nimble.
Thanks,
Alex
