OS...reliable but pricey...kinda heavy.
YS...powerful but REAL pricey...a little heavier, too.
Saito...powerful and pricey, but light.
The Saito would be my first choice. It does take a while on the bench, if you are inclined to bench run an engine, to get it properly broke-in. After that it is virtually flawless in its operation for many years if properly maintained.
...NOW, go buy what you gotta go buy...the choice is yours!
