Well, for A1 Racing in the hands of an average driver/novice driver conventional mid motor works well come rain or shine.
Motor forward cars work well on a warm summer day, but when it's damp/cold because of the type of astro at A1, they're not as easy to drive.
Indoors depends on surface, but again Worksop is a lower grip surface so mid motor will be fine.
The KF is a good car, but in its current form wants a lot of extra parts to make it work on medium/lower grip.
Nobody really runs a B5M on a club night at A1 so parts/support might be limited.
I run an RB6 which I find very easy to drive and very strong, and if driven well about as fast as a KF on A1.
A few run the 210, again decent car let down by parts support in a few cases.
Bmax2, nicely made, but nobody runs one at A1 so same issues as the B5M.
Depends what you fancy really and how confident you are on your own setup skills.
Why not come and have a closer nosey on a club night on what regulars run and what takes your fancy?
Most would be happy to let you have a nosey and maybe even a drive...

I am mostly planning on racing indoors at Silverstone and outdoors at the glorious track A1 Racing have in Grantham, although I will periodically race indoors at worksop as well, and who knows what the season will bring? So, thinking something that works well on high grip tracks, but I would like about something that works well on lower grip surfaces as well - without having to shell out an absolute fortune on extra parts.
So, my long list is:
Cougar KF
Associated B5M
Yokomo B-Maxx2 (like that this has rear and front motor options supplied in the kit)
Kyosho RB6
Team Durango DEX 210
Any thoughts or advice gratefully appreciated.
