With all the Styker kits now available and a seemly endless trail of accessories
and etched brass for them. Which kit is the best AFV or Trumpeter.Should i wait for Dragons version.

Currently, AFV Club's kit is better. I am going to wait on the Dragon one to see how it is though. Based on their recent kit quality; the M1A1 AIM and M1A2 SEP, I am betting theirs will be the best Stryker.

I built both. And I found the AFV to be better because of the small details they paid attention to. And the over all look of it is nicer!!!

Yup, they released it in early August. I already have mine. It looks to be a great kit. I believe there is a review of it here as well, check the Reviews section.
