The 3TGTE has its appeal but just re-consider the 3SGE/TE for maintenance & repair parts availability.

swapping a blacktop would be the easiest for you. especially if youve never done a swap.
you should get a beams 3sge if you go the 3s route, unless youre okay with mounting the engine at abt a 30*(?) angle... idk jack abt the 3t.

at this point your starting to talk abt an entire drivetrain swap rather than a mere motor swap. be prepared, and be clear as to what the pou is for this car. that has a profound impact on what you should choose.

but my opinion is to jump on to the 1uz bandwagon, or a ls123etc
