The easiest way to narrow down the choices are to determine what your budget is, then determine how you plan on using the car- cruising, drag racing, road racing, open track days and a little cruising, car shows, etc....

Then, you can determine what other values are important to you- originality, body shape and size (there are many differences from one manufacturer to another), engine you want to use and which kits are set up for it.

Also, how much are you willing to do and what skills do you possess to do a build or will you pay someone else to do the build for you? Do you have the patience, skills, and space to do a build? You may want to buy an already sorted out car instead of building if the build doesn't interest you.

Asking for a list of top to bottom kits on a forum like this is just asking for problems. No one is going to down play their kit, (or the kit they are selling), so all you are going to get is opinions, which isn't going to get you anywhere.

Best to just keep reading until you start to get a feel for the plusses and minuses of the different kits and start to narrow down what is going to work for you. Ask lots of questions about certain features like frame styles, body originality/or not, components, handling, etc... and you'll get a feel for what is out there.

Good luck in the search.
