I see a lot of talk of "Kin Kats"...but that is a Melee boost..
wouldn't Nova Knives be more effective with the Sidearm boost instead....since it's a sidearm weapon, not a melee weapon..? |

Kin cat = kinetic catalyzer = sprint speed increase. You don't need damage mods on NKs, though you are correct that it gains boosts from sidearm damage mods instead of melee mods. |

Kin Kats sounds more like slang for Kinetic Catalysers. Those are the biotic modules that help you run faster, not the ones that increase melee damage. (Red not yellow.)
Nova Knifers would use Kinetic Catalysers to allow them to sprint toward their target faster to get in close before they turn around. They donGÇÖt provide any damage boost, but would help you get into position to make the attack. I should also note that Kinetic Catalysers are low slot modules while the melee and sidearm boost modules go in the high slots.
As to whether it is better to use a Melee boost (Myofibril Stimulant) or a Sidearm boost, I am not qualified to comment.

Kin Catz are probably mentioned because their usefulness for getting you in and out quickly.
As for what mods to use to increase damage?
Sidearm Damage Mods.
Myofiboril Stimulants (Blue, Melee Damage Mods) only increase your 'R3' melee damage.
