Pigmy,
the planes all fly about the same. The Hangar 9 extra easy comes with the JR 421 radio which is better than the others by far. The MDS .40 is adequate for this airplane and after accumulating some run-in time, is certainly better than an OS .40 LA.
The Alpha comes with a JR Quattro, a really basic radio and the others come with equivalent basic Futabas.
In my opinion, the radio is the difference among your choices. You'll be glad you got the JR 421 with its basic computer functions, the 5th channel and three model memory. It's clearly the best choice.
