Beam mount means that engine is mounted via mounting lugs which are part of the engine case, just like a glow engine.
Rear mount means that the engine has flanged type mounting lugs at the rear of the engine which are used to mount the engine to the firewall, and in most cases metal or wooden standoffs (dowels) are used to provide adequate space for the rear mounted carb.
The all up weight of the model suggests that either engine will fly the plane, and it really depends on your style of flying. If you are pedal to the metal type then the 26cc might be a better choice, while if you are a general relaxed type sport flier then the 20cc might be just the ticket for you. I would also suggest that since you are new to gas powered models, that you read the Newbie to Gas Engine Information thread here.
