Default building 1/8 buggy, time to pick ESC

The buggy for bashing and some speed runs and I want to get some input on ESCs. Have narrowed it down to these ESCs capable of 6S.

Mamba Monster waterproof
Xerun 150A
EZrun 150A

I like that the Mamba is waterproof although not sure if I really need it in So.Cal.

I'm a bit concerned with Xerun since I would have to solder the cables to ESC vs other two which come w bullet connectors already attached to cables and just plug in vs soldering. I'm decent at soldering and use Hakko station and soldered bullets, deans, traxxas with cables up-to 8awg.

My concern is that when I heat up the ESC posts on Xerun to solder my cables, if these are soldered internally would that solder melt and possibly short something internally. Or am I being paranoid here?

Anyway, I'd appreciate some thoughts on these ESCs:

The xerun150 comes with wires soldered with 4mm bullets already installed.so far the hobby wing has been great for me and they are priced very good.

It all depends on what brand of roller you get. The ezrun 150 amp is HUGE!!! Won't fit in some rollers because its too big. I'm running the xerun 150 amp and it has plenty of power on 4s. I did have to cut the mud guard on my tekno to get it to fit but the tekno chassis is extremely narrow compared to most cars on the market. I only run a mamba max once from a friend. Heard they have problems with the internal bec failing.
