Correct. For a multi-purpose street car, you probably need a three sided coin. Better yet, roll the dice: Six sides times two--there's a lot of good choices.
If it helps, fly out to Long Island and I'll take you for a drive in a variety of cars with very different suspension setups. With regards to actual roadholding for a street car, it's a coin toss. They all work well because--in reality--the cars are not being pushed very hard 90% of the time.
Swing the pendulum to one extreme (race) or the other (comfort/show) and I'll give you a differet answer. But for a "does everything well" street car, the biggest difference that I have experienced comes from comparing front steer "rack" cars to rear steer "box" cars. And the link rear suspensions ride way nicer than leaf springs.
If you have narrowed it down to three choices that all spin your wheels, spend time weighing the secondary considerations that Scott outlined such as installation difficulty, exhaust packaging, price, etc.
If I could wave a magic wand (mine's broken), I'd order me up a Art Morrison Max-G 3 Link full frame kit. But that's just me. I already have a nicely sorted aftermarket front clip. I want to take things to a whole other level with a channeled body thru frame exhaust and all. I suddenly have the urge to cut the floor and chassis our of a perfectly good, fully functional car.
It's delicious!
