If you're sticking to the Tamiya bodies, the Swift is the body of choice. The Abarth is just plain nasty. Most of the MWB cars at the TCS Nats used the Swift for good reason. It just "works" better.
The LWB cars used the Cooper S or the BMW bodies. The new Coupe is a favorite of Dave Weir's, but I've never had it handle the way the other two do. It in my hands was not as "comfortable" to drive.
Again these comments are limited to the Tamiya USA track which is outdoor asphalt. Carpet may be different.
