Mines loaded with carbon and alloy mostly because I wanted it.
That said, I cracked my carbon tower on my first meeting with the car, ran a bit of CA glue over the crack and have been using it for 2-3 months since. Yesterday I looked at the crack, decided it looked a bit more serious so swapped to the plastic tower. The plastic tower lasted 2 heats. I finished the day with the carbon tower I was worried about, but looks no worse!
I'd say the carbon one is a) stronger, and b) repairable. But the plastic towers are very cheap so its your call.
Mine was an Atomic Carbon - I've ordered a Cream tower which is supposed to be better.
Other than that I've broken a front hub carrier, and seen a couple of others go there too so I'd suggest some of those. Oh, and a rear wishbone, but that was when I caught a peg someone had left in the track!
No point with the Buds diff kit - the ball diff is too much of a pain and the geared diff set is only £25 as it is. Get the geared diff, keep the ball diff as a spare.
And fit some Associated slipper pads, the Durango ones suck!
