The two replicas really come at you from totally different directions. The FFR is a kit delivered to your door. Add 1 Mustang and stir. Bake for about XXX hours and top with paint. Finished replica can look very very sharp indeed and will be a total blast to drive.

Superformance (SPF) is delivered as a painted roller complete and ready for engine. The SPF comes with the original style pin drives wheels only. It will be a total blast to drive. It is more expensive.

I'd suggest looking at Backdraft. They are delivered as a roller as per the SPF but don't have pin drive wheels. They are not as expensive. I've seen a SPF, a BDR and a FFR side by side and all 3 were impressive. I drove the BDR and loved it !!

There is another very well regarded kit company not far from you. Unique have been in the business since '77 and produce a very good kit. I've seen and ridden in one and it was impressive.

Then there is ERA, Kirkham, B&B, JPL, Shell Valley, A&C, Arntz, Classic, Lone Star, Shamrock, Shelby and a few I'm bound to have nissed (sorry to those I did - going from memory).

The best one for you is the one you like the look of, can build to how you want to finish it, is finished for you, you can afford and ends up in your garage.

Have fun with the search and enjoy.
