It depends what you call easy. Do you mean at your local shop, trackside or on-line?

All the cars above have suppliers in the UK who stock most of the spares, but it depends how you shop coupled with prices.

I would say:

Associated B44/Tamiya
Durango

I know a few parts of the 502 are hard to get at times, but I love the TRF range of cars. So my choice would be a TRF 511 or TRF 502.

As already said, it depends where you are when you need stuff. If trackside with a shop, I'd say Associated/Durango/Tamiya in that order. If you are at Worksop, probably stick Schumacher in first place (yeah, I know thats not one of your choices) and move all the others down a place, unless you are cadging bits off other drivers in which case it's a lottery, but Durango bits may be easier to get off other drivers (???) than a shop. Then again, if you're racing in Osaka, Tamiya gets the nod .

I would say through online and ebay most of the time. This is the first question.

Durability wise....which one among these 3 are the most durable?
