All three cars use the AE front-end and AE style diff, so parts support really won't be an issue. They all use the same bearings, bulkhead spacing and bulkhead screw placement etc. Anything you're going to break on those cars can be easily replaced at any hobbystore that carries AE. The only exception is the side links on the 'Knife, but you could just get a few sets of them when you order the car, as they are relatively inexpensive.

You could also give a look at the Rev. 4 from Speedmerchant, similar to the knife in many ways, but different enough to make it handle differently. It includes the big-ring diff lowered pod plates, and a more durable link system than the 'Knife.
