I've owned some version of all these cars. The most fun to drive is the Miata, and I would own one as a daily driver but I'm too anxious and don't like the idea of flipping a convertible no matter how low the chances are. But I have a caged 99 Miata as a track car.
After driving FWD, RWD, and AWD I will say that FWD is frustrating when you're applying power out of a turn at the limit. AWD is boring - it's like gliding along in a space ship. Too much grip :P. I also hate turbos because of the lag. RWD is the most fun. If there was a Miata coupe I would buy one in a heart beat. Much smoother and more fun to drive than the scalpel sharp BRZ/FRS. And the engine note is so much more pleasant. I'm in car limbo now because I don't know what to do, but I am eyeing used 911s while I drive my truck. Also plan to test drive the 2017 BRZ with performance pack.
