Eventually it will come down to what you like and how much you are willing to spend. The top line ones are Shelby and Kirkham. But they are also the most expensive for the most part.
ERA, Superformance, and Backdraft are good. Classic Roadsters used to be right up there with them but it has had problems lately and I think is currently out of business. You will get a lot of answers from people who like theirs best. Your best bet is to go to a Cobra Club meet or show in your area and talk to the people and look at the cars first hand. Another thing to consider is how much of the work and build do you want to or can you do. Superformance comes complete sans engine and transmission and all you have to do is have them installed. Others can be ordered in various stages of finish. The bad kits are for the most part gone now and any of them can be made into great cars. Another thing to consider is do you want yours to look as original as possible. If that isn't important to you, some of the cars have longer wheel bases and are a little easier to learn to drive. But do a lot of looking and asking questions before you make a commitment if you haven't been around these cars much.
