Default Returning to flying, need some current product knowledge

Hey folks. Been out of hobbies since middle 2000’s, went looking at ESCs and there are way more choices these days. I recently acquired a NIB Hangar 9 40 Cub with the included Power 46 out runner. It calls for a 60A speed control and I also got a NIP Common Sense RC 60A ESC. I looked them up and while CSRC is still in business, I didn’t see any ESCs offered.
my question is what about the ESC I have, would you trust it? If not what should I be looking at? would an 80A esc be a better choice, and what brand. When I was active, Castle Creations were the only real game in town.
I don’t plan to do much with a cub but fly around the pattern on nice days so I don’t need a high zoot or hot setup, just reliable equipment with a reasonable expectation of getting my plane up and back down should do it.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice, experiences, or opinions.
