Battery choice should be determined by the motor

Your motor will have a continuous current rating

Example
100 Amp motor

Pack 1 - 5000mah 20c pack = capable of delivering 100 amps
Pack 2 - 5000mah 40c pack = capable of delivering 200 amps

Pack 2 is a better choice as 1 is close to its limit

Generally speaking higher mah = longer runtime as long as the packs can keep up with the motor

Cheers
