Default Help please with motor/esc selection

Thanks for your interest.

Given this is not F3A but you guys know motors/esc better than anyone. Intending to go IMACing with an EF 78" EXTRA or a 25% PILOT. I'd like to stay with a 10S setup and wondering how these motors compare in performance and reliability:Hacker Q80 13 or 14 XS vrs Neu F3A vrs Plettenberg Advance 30-10. Regarding the NEU, I'm wondering if the gearbox is worth all the fuss.

Also would appreciate feedback on what make and model ESC works best with each of above motors.

Lastly, what flight time can I expect with a typical F3A x 10S x 5000 setup?
