The tamiya bug would be my first choice as its by far the best bug kit, i'd put the 1/24 revell kit next as i've seen some great builds out of it, third i would put the polar light snap kit in the harley quinn boxing as it builds up really well and has 3 sets of wheels but any of the polar lights build nice stock bugs. I would avoid the 1/25 revell bugs as they are old tools that need a lot of flash clean up before you can find the actual parts. 

The tamiya can be made to have working suspension too with a bit of drilling and its easy to use under something else. The revell kit has the rear inner arches molded to the floorpan which limits it being used under something else. While the polar lights bugs are snap kits they have an engine that can be datailed up and once its together nobodies gonna be able to tell

You're right on the Tamiya.  I have these two as well that I think are reasonably detailed but would have to check them to see.  I'll check the contents later today.

The Convertible is based on the Older Revell Bug, I think. The Blue '68 is the recent tooling. A neat Kit.
