Funny you should mention those grades as I participated in FLL those years. It was a great experience for me and I am unsure that I would have like FTC or VRC better since those programs do not include a research project. (As far as I am aware.)
FLL in 9th grade was a fit for me.

However, I think giving students a choice is ideal since more mechanically-minded students might want a bigger challenge.
