Hi Steve, When I was looking into kits to purchase I knew that I lived along way from help and was thinking (rightly so) that any help I needed I would most likely find the answers here.
Personally my choices where CR or Harrison.

But in your instance you live in or near Sydney so it would be a smart move to select a kit that is manufactured locally, I know the CR kit is made in Sydney but I dont know anything at all about the Homebush kit or where it is made

When looking into a kit you need to list your main priorities and decide form there.

The CR is a very easy to assemble kit and most things bolt straight in. Having some mechanical knowledge certainly will make life easier (but I think this would be the same with any kit)

The Harrison kit certainly is another great starting point and all owners seem to be very happy with there cars.

The only reason I didnt select the Harrison (strictly personal choice) was that the body is bonded to the chassis.

1 point regarding the CR that I didnt think about when buying was that you are not going to be able to fit deep dished rims (I prefer the look of the deep dish)
