I would recommend the nt1 2013 with short shocks if you run on high traction tracks without the tire handout system. If running in a controlled tire setting maybe the nt1 2014 is the way to go.

From what I see in the USA the 2013 is still the best nt1 kit out and being run at big races by the top drivers. The 2014 does not work as well on US tracks

I saw somewhere that said it was "all-new" but I somehow don't believe that.. NT1s still seem to do well everywhere plus they just hot off a Worlds win as well. Maybe alu bulkheads with bearing supported sway bars at most?

+1
I'm going to stick with my 2013 for a while, just switch between short and long shocks.

I agree. My best guess is that the entire drivetrain and plastics (excluding bulkhead assemblies) will cross over. It will be interesting to see xray transition to the aluminum format they have so resisted and believed was inferior. They adamantly defended the plastic bulkhead design when introducing the RX8.

It would seem that the car will have some new handling characteristics even with same geometry as current car

I just read the interview about new nt1 on redrc. It seems xray is becoming like all other businesses and must make cost/benefit compromises. The change to alu bulkheads seems to be driven by costs, not superior performance.
There is also small lie/overlooked error in the article. They do not have a chassis in EVERY on road class. What about large scale onroad? Where is their car for that? And trust me, i would be first in line shouting take my money.

If the outdrives and pins on the axles are worn then yes it's best to replace both.

If the diff is leaking you can either rebuild and use new seals or use the block to make it a solid axle. The choice would be yours on how you want the car to handle and track conditions.
