Default E-Flite F-86 fan choice?

I have been trying to decide on the power system for my F-86. I am really not sure which is the way to go.

What Fan/Motor combo would people recommend for it that is a good comprimise between price, performance, durability and relability?

HET, SAPAC, E-Flite, etc?

Thanks for the help.

I really like the sound of the HET. All run good but I have more trouble with the E Flight and the collets spining loose. HET...its my choice

Wemotec 480 minifan with  HET Typhoon 2W-20 motor.  It'll deliver about 730 watts on a good 4S set up and it won't break the bank.

Have the Habu32 80mm fan and motor from eflite and ran smooth right out of the box on 6S (no balancing needed). Good quality if you can fit 80mm in...

A buddy in the club has one with HET70mm and 2w motor on 4s. It scoots along at a pretty fast clip. If I were to get one, that would be the setup I would use.
