not much between an independant and a de dion (caterham). Live axle ok for track use.
As mark says though the geometry has to be right.
I haven't seen any graphs of the camber gain vs deflection for the haynes.
The rear is the easiest to get right, it's lot harder to get the front right especially with the constraints of the front uprights.

For me it will be about on road fun with the odd track day, it should be a laugh what ever, as long as I have enough power to pop the back out for a bit of controllable fun I'll be happy!

If I'm unhappy down the line I'll look at changes to the geometry.

to the OP, i'm sure there are many locosts running with independant rear ends. That way you'd get the best of both
