Integra, every time.
Im biasd thou, as i own a JDM CTR, my brother owns an ITR.
Performance wise nothing in them except if the Scoob is well tuned.
Cheaper to run an ITR too.

I own a scoob (obviously), but I love the integra.
Well impressed when I test drove it. Was more impressed with the scoob though hence the purchase.
I thought the integra would be a little harsh for commuting, although they can apparently do 40mpg when driven sensibly.
I also found it extremely noisy, although what a beautiful noise it was.
Given the choice, the scoob is more refined although very thirsty.
I personally chose it as I don't have to worry about fuel costs.
If I lived closer to work I may have chosen the Integra. Far more raw and a lot rarer. The new scooby has lost much of its appeal with its toned down look (especially those with "sports" seats), so I may look at an Integra next.

Integra for that money 
1 year 9000 mile service intervals, 30 mpg, THAT noise, better handling, though less grip as standard, cheaper to insure and almost as fast once up and running, although harder work.
Sell you mine for £12k.
Sept 2000, x, 7700 miles, black, unmodded, CAT1 and balance of 3 yr warranty

Ummmm, Scooby!!! no, I mean, Integra!!!
Depends really, I found that a Teg is actually more expensive to insure (?)(slightly), but is certainly a lot cheaper to run, so if you can live with a 0-60 time being one second slower, you can have a car thats a lot of fun, reliable, and reasonable to run.
I also had a choice, but after seeing what Scoob running and fuel costs are like, Im happy to give up that second, plus I recon the Tegs is easily as much fun, which is what drivings all about.
Just dont race a Scoob if you do get one.
Edit: but then you know all that, cause you've owned both, so probably just wanted a vote, not a run down between them, so, my vote: Integra
