either kit once set up righ will still have the same end result.
so argueing over tyre wear is just stupid. all it comes down to is how much you want to spend. both kits remain adjustable and most places that do alingments keep shims in stock.

I used to have a Kmac kit in my car, was installed befor i bought it.

The front end used to squeek like you wouldn't beleive and nothing could fix it, so i bought a shim kit from fulcrum for $160 thats been in for about 3 years now. Have never had a noise from the front end since fitting it.

I have the kmac set and it's just a pain to have. People won't know how to adjust them and there really isn't that much more adjustability (if any at all) over a shim set.

Shims won't move. That is what the V8 supercars use. Kmac kit is good in theory but.
