I also agree that to a large extent they are all very similar and each has it's own advantages. I also agree that you should go to the field and just grab hold of a few and see which feels good in your hands and if you like where the various switches/controls are. Ask each owner what they like and don't like in their set, ignore comments about other brands due to possible bias. I prefer Futaba but that doesn't make them best for you.

Most important, have fun with this great hobby.
