Default Electric 1/4 Scale Tigermoth

I'm considering the AXI 5330/24 or the PJS 3D 10000 to power a 1/4 scale Tigermoth, but I've no experience with either motor. Anyone have an opinion on AXI versus PJS as to quality and power?

Airframe with radio gear weighs 11.5 lbs, with 2200 square inches wing area, so gross weight in the 20 - 25 lb range, still results in a wing loading in the low to mid 20's. Since I've got 10 - 12 lbs allowance for powerplant, I'll be running a 30 - 32 cell nicad pack.

This will be my first experience with larger electric powerplants, so any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
