You can do all kinds of things...
A 190E 2.6 is a bit slower than a 190E 2.3-16V, and the 16V has better suspension, 50% sold in US were manny-tranny, and the body work is nicer.
There have been cases of people shoehorning the 3.6L AMG engine from the C36 into the W201 body, and it makes a pretty exciting package.
A bone stock 190E 2.6 with manny tranny and Sportline package is a pretty nice car without any mods. Harder to find though.
My pick would be to start with a 2.3-16V and think about things like a 2.5 Evo conversion or other rodding upgrades.
Keep in mind that the 190E has been out of production for nearly 12 years, so hop-up bits are not sold on every corner...
