There is no difference between delta and wye motors of the same basic geometry and Kv with regards to starting current or timing requirements.

Delta motors do suffer from slightly lower efficiency due to recirculation current around the delta.

Some sensorless ESCs will not properly drive some delta motors, so this must also be considered.
