Maybe it's me, but I have never been one to go along with a thing that confounds common sense or logic without consistent questioning of it.
This is a case that I am guilty of my own hypocrisy in the effect I continue to run the class and abide by the rules. However, don't confuse the fact I think it's mildly stupid to over stress a limited system to do a thing that could be done much better on 3S for little to no extra cost.
3S systems would run longer, cooler, more powerful, and less expensive batteries could be used significantly lowering the risk of blowing one up.
I don't know how things are at your tracks, but more people blow up SCT stuff than any other class around here. Running over abundant IR stat electrical systems is a large reason why IMO.

Im running the 45mm stock rear shocks on the front with the stock front pistons. And im running 48mm 22T rear shocks on the the rear. This shock set up gives more down travel and feels really good.

But for sake of answering your question, the 4000kv will be more in line with what you will want to run on 2S. So go with that one if that is your only choice. Alternately if you are allowed, the Tekin 4600 is probably even better if you plan to run on larger tracks.
