Default Setup Help

Setting up a new plane and wanted to get some advice on various setups. It's got 11 channels that I want to use. I fly futaba and thought of these 3 options (telemetry is not necessary but would be nice):

Option 1. I can go with a single 6014hs receiver and a wolverine switch (3x jr outputs).

Option 2. (telemetry enabled) Two 7008sb receivers to get the 11 channels that I need and telemetry. Wolverine switch with one output into each receiver and then y the third output into an additional channel slot in each receiver or just go with the 1 input into each and just ignore 3rd output.

Option 3. One 7008sb receiver and a powerbox mercury srs with iGyro. (i was planning on using a demon cortex in the plane as well.)

Option 3 would eliminate the wolverine switch, the demon cortex, and still allow me to use 2 independent batteries. My concern with this option is that I have never used any powerbox equipment at all and not really sure how good the iGyro is in this unit.

Any advice or other options are welcomed.
