In my opinion, a Mazda platform holds the advantage of Mazdaspeed support for grassroots and pro drivers and a very healthy aftermarket selection for the Miata/MX-5, RX7, and RX8.
The Nissan S-chassis still holds king, though, with aftermarket support, the amount of people driving one, and knowledge. It's nearly the only chassis in drifting that you can put nearly any engine in and still come out with a winner from rotaries to I4s to I6/V6s and even V8s, it's been put in there with good to great results. And nearly any S-chassis is great for drifting, from the S110 to the S15, they have been some fairly well built cars out the box and most any from the S12 to the S15 will at least be able to swap front end parts.
So, in short, if anyone were to ask me, S-chassis Nissans first, but if you have to be different, find a RX7 or Miata/MX-5.
