go with futaba single reciver unlike the orthers when you want to go bigger you dont have to put a bunch of satilite rec all over the place
I have Futaba, Spektrum and JR so I am not biased, they all work great.. but you don't need a "Bunch" of satellites with Spektrum.. One Satellite is enough and in my own personal testing the Spektrum RX with a single Satellite actually does give slightly better range than Futaba.. Both are good to many miles so the difference is really trivial.. but my point is the Satellites do make a positive difference and you only need one.. Not a Bunch of them...

My range tests below..

This one was surprising.. even a small ultra micro Spektrum Heli has the same range as a Full range Futaba RX...
