I run a 944 in chumpcar so I will give you my experiences.

I like to have lots of spares on hand at the track, and that is much easier to do with the early offset steel control arms with replaceable ball joints. That said, we have a late offset car and I didn't want to change over the entire rear suspension to match early offset all around. I didn't know what the implications were of running early offset front with late offset rear, so we decided to just keep running the late offset aluminum arms in the front.

We swapped over to an early manual steering rack and I think it was for the better. We had to get special tie rod ends (I wasn't in charge of this so I can't tell you exactly what).

I also prefer to have the stronger late hubs/bearings with the rotors on the outside.

Also, Im not sure if you're running or plan to run camber plates, but it was on my list of things to add to our car. You may want to check to see if you can run the common ebay-type camber plates with early springs/spring seats. I know ebay camber plates have a somewhat poor reputation on the forums, but there are several chump/lemons teams running them that are thankful for the additional camber and camber adjustment.

If theres anything we learned racing a 944 in chump/lemons, its "do not show up to race day with a rubber centered clutch". If you don't know what kind of clutch you have in the car, change it now.
