I will go for the variable (prime -0.75). Few things you may want to know:
1) how is the interest being calculated, compouned monthly, semi-annually, or annually?
2) What is the payment option? Monthly, bi-weekly accelerated? bi-weekly?
3) any option to convert to a fixed term mortgage without penality?

There are some compounded monthly, for example, PC Financial... The link below aslo identities several others. Unfortuantely, don't know the name of the issuer...

我还是不明白:
我认为bi-weekly, semi-monthly even monthly payment 不应有compounded monthly, semi-annually or annually的问题.因为每次payment 已包括了所有应付的利息,也就是不存在利滚利的问题.
只有当compounded monthly, 并且payment超过monthly,例如每5个星期payment,才存在利滚利.这时才需要考虑用compounded semi-annually or annually.
我的理解是compounded monthly, semi-annually or annually是一样的,因为一般都是bi-weekly, semi-monly or monthly payment.
请指出我不对的地方,最好有例子.

Your payment amount depends on the real or the effective rate not the stated rate... and the effective rate is depends on the frequency of the compounding... Any bank website will give you an equivalent effective rate for their posted (or stated) rate - required by the law...

This is correct. A simpler term for compound rate is "interest on interest", therefore, the longer the term, the less the chance of "interest on interest", hence less interest paid period.
However do not confuse the concept of rate compounding with rate change. Rate change usually happens immediately following prime rate change set by Bank of China. Rate compounding is fixed throughout the term of your mortgage.
