This would be a good time to use Render layers. You can put all the non-edge objects on one layer and the edge objects on another layer and simply turn off Edge rendering on the Render layer that contains all the non-edge objects. You can then Use composite nodes to combine them.

Here is the node setup, Note that Suzanne is on her own Render Layer and is the only object with the Red edges effect.

Here is the Blend if you want to see how the Layers and Render Layers were setup:
