The "best" depends on what you want. For me, and many others, it would be a Kirkham.

For guys that want to track the car and build it - maybe a FFR. Building and working on your own car is a completely different experience.

For someone that wants to build but wants a more "authentic" look - Hurricane or the new FFR body.

For a turnkey minus car that looks like a more exotic cobra / tough - Backdraft.

For a turnkey minus car without the cost of the Kirkham - SPF.

I think running the numbers matters very little in this regard. Certain cars will provide different owners entirely different experiences.
