Actually, I suppose if you don't have all the factory parts to fit an 01E it makes no difference which gearbox you use. You have to fabricate mounts and shafts either way so you might as well use the more modern 0A3. The 01E is cheaper to buy, but by the time you've cured the 1/2 synchro weakness its about even with an 0A3, and the 0A3s will mostly have less miles I would expect. The lack of a speedo output is easily solved once you've figured out all the rest of the swap.
Hmm... The 0A3 I have has crazy high ratios: FD 3.889 1st 3.667 2nd 2.050 3rd 1.276 4th 0.882 5th 0.659 6th 0.528!! 4th in this is the same as 5th in the DGV. 70mph in 6th is 1800rpm  I've attached a spreadsheet I made with a gear speed calculator for the various common options which may help visualise some of this
