The F22 tranny will be alright with the H22. Not the BEST, but you won't be disappointed. You'll want to check the balance shaft seal retainer as well... that's a weak point for F and H series engines. Search for threads made by MrHonda here on the board for a detailed writeup about it.
LOGICx420x... comparing the H and B series engines is useless. The B series is worthless in the CB7 world. The H22 is an overweight monster in a Civic/Integra, but it's right at home in the CB7. 200whp with an h22 isn't all that hard to achieve. Skunk2 Stage 2 cams with the full Skunk2 valvetrain would run about $1500. A Rage header from kteller.com is about $650. A good exhaust system is usually around $600. Decent headwork is about $1000... or less, depending on what you have done and who does it. $3700 before tuning would probably get a VERY nice H22. Tuning would probably find a LOT of power in that setup as well!
Additional things you could add would be an electric water pump, lightweight crank pulley, eliminate power steering and AC, and install a better intake manifold (Euro R is my choice).
Turbo is nice, but tuning is important, maintenance increases considerably, and the life of the motor is often shortened noticably. Not that a naturally aspirated performance motor lasts as long as stock either, but when well done, NA is often more reliable.
