I'm always a fan of going with the maximum horsepower, as it's more versatile. With modern fuel-injected motors, you really aren't saving gas in going with a smaller motor - you can always just back off the throttle and get the same economy. Therefore, in your situation I would go with the eTec 90 or even the 90HO.

If you don't want to go quite as fast, or be quite as versatile, go with a 70.
