here is the simple rule if its a manufacturer that has been making radio's for a while go for it you for sure don't want a spektrum because they get brown outs all the time and you have to add glitch busters to the system if you run a decent servo. Now as for radios I flew airplanes professionally for a while and used JR they are amazing and as for now i use Futaba and really love eveything about it. so go either Sanwa, JR or Futaba like the 3PL.
