Looking to purchase my first Porsche next year and am still in two minds about Turbo or GT3, just want to know if any of these suffer from RMS?

Your advice would be appreciated.

In simple terms No, the GTs and TT have a different engine from the standard 996 - which shares its engine with the boxster.
