Bit of both really.
Shinobi is a constant, there will eventually be another Ninja themed rider or form. In fact, it's one of the few things that's never been done as a full show theme entirely, but is an underlying theme of all in many ways.

Kikai is literally every "machine made" rider. With another one sometime in the future. (G3 through build, tech based riders are a theme constant. Hence the basis of the Build Drone soldier costume elements reused.)

And Quiz is the constant question of what's next. The ghost of christmas future if you will. With a specialized design lean on Chalice, Ghost, and Kyu Orange. It's very October Scorpio leaning intentionally. Which is also why it carries elements of Sasword too. The underlying mystery of every show. Representing the eternal question of what's next, as well as the question of some belt origins that don't fit the other two archetypes. The relic/artifact henshin device of questionable or mysterious origin.

But I don't think these are resistance riders. This looks like it's the 'next generation' of jikuu driver, while the resistance only has its hands on the Jikuu Driver and maybe a prototype version. Seemingly with an intentional design lilt towards FLCL, because of how it's something pulled out of heads.

How Woz's belt seems to adhere to the template questions of a rider series overall that's been throughout Heisei, that's what makes me wonder if he still has one more form at least, and a power up form. Because while he's covering the three main aspects in his forms and his base forms, he is missing one key component to all series still besides a power up device.
