The problem with your question is that you didn't tell us what you expect from your "daily driver". Many of the responses were based on longevity, overall cost to build or fuel mileage.
So, what do you want from you daily driver? Is cost a factor, if so how much are you willing to spend on your car's drivetrain (engine/trans/rear)? Is longevity or fuel mileage important. How many miles will you drive a year? What kind of fuel mileage do you expect? Have you determined if you are using a 4-speed or automatic?
The better you qualify your question the better answer you will get.
