Best kit? The one you buy and are happy with!

Do some searches and you will find more information about the different kits then you will ever care to read.

Ask question in the manufacturers forum. Find cars local. Go look at, ride and if possible drive them.

Most importantly, don't be in a hurry. Also, check out the used market. It is very good. You could be driving now while you 'refine' your ideal car.

Budget, more than likely, if you build, you will exceed your budget. The less you know when you make the purchase decision the more likely you are to blow your budget out of the water.

Seems to me the companies you mentioned are all some what compariable. But since I do not own one of those, I will leave it up the those who do to give their opinion.
