Hi and welcome.
The 3 you have listed are all great cars and you won't be dissapointed.
I enjoyed building my cars more than driving them so do look at a build as it's great fun and you learn alot.
Also if you haven't already, get to a show and sit in as many cars as you ca or go to a meet locally and blag a ride.
Cars not to go for.....hmmmm.... can of worms that one!!

put where your located and folk can see if there is a meeting near by. Try and get a shot in the cars before you decide and try both a BEC and CEC.
If not really interested in building then I'd recommend a second hand car, it can take a very long time to finish one

Seen this ?
mac#1 for sale
mac#1 (mark and colin) are very helpful, you could buy this for the summer and order a chassis to build over the winter.

My suggestion would be to go to Newark and speak to Mark & Colin, when i was looking for a kit I had the same 3 cars in mind.
Spoke to all 3 at Neward and was given so much encouragement from Mac 1 that I bought the kit, and have never looked back. They are always on the
other end of a phone when you get stuck (and you will).
Good luck with your choice.
