Don't forget that if your Porsche tranny need a rebuild (most probably do), you will pay a lot for that to.
Also a lot of Porsche 901/911 type tranny's don't shift very smoothly, a Berg will probably shift as well as a bug trans.
A Porsche 915 tranny will shift better, but it also depends on your installation quality and a 915 will need more modifications to install.
IMO it just depends on what you can lay your hands on for a good price and how handy you are yourself.
I got a good deal (almost free) on a 915/12 (a 4-speed). I need the strength mostly, so I'll try to install the 4-speed, untill I fing a good 5-speed 915. Another advantage is that you can use a 228 mm flywheel or 215 mm 914 flywheel without clearancing! and the 911 statermotor is a lot stronger.
Good luck,
Walter
