Default RE: Engines! So many Types, So many Options.. HELP!

Wow, this is awesome.

All of you have made good recomendations. I looked into the OS 50sx and was heavily thinking about it, seems like a good solid engine.. however I want to do this right and learn right, I don't want to pick up any bad habits.
I will probally choose between the Super tigre .51 and the TH ABC..

These are my main concerns:

1) Is the engine reliable, if i get into minor aerobatics and Roll, I don't want a staller..
2) Is the engine easy to tune. I live about 10mins from the LHS and could bring the engine if i have any tuning probs but I would rather do it on my own.. So i would like an engine that isnt that finicky.
3) Longevity... I suppose if you treat any engine the right way it can last forever though..right??
5) I don't want to out grow my engine in a few months.
