I'd say that any Firebird specific component set can be
thrown from the door then.

Now, next question: which database engines do you need
to support?

If they all fit into the Zeos category, is it easy with Zeos
to switch engines? Even if so, is their the possibility that
a new engine should be added that's not in the Zeos set?
If so, you can throw Zeos away... Right?

Both of them?

So the component set needs to support TDataset?

Go on, ask yourself these questions, write down a set
of requirements and then search for componentsets that
meet these requirements.
