Every company has their own idea of the ideal ackerman percentage/curve, which is really what's changing between the Grip and Grip/drift knuckles. FDF are just tweaked copies of wisefab, though I do see they make their own "grip" knuckle with a bolt-on hub. It says "12 degrees of ackerman is ideal for extended track with s-chassis", but how he came to that conclusion no one will ever know.
In all actuality, these things differ depending on what track you're at, what tires you're using, your ride height, and how fast you like your steering. Pick one you like the idea of and run with it, nobody has objective data on one vs. the other.
