Default Motor mount for Ys 160 DZ

Hi
i just wonderd what kind off mounts you use for this engine!
I had an ZN line Twister with an OS 140 rx that i had 230 flights on with a self made O.Fremming type Hyde mount and Central Hobbies nose ring, this mount to reduce weigth when i mounted my new YS i used a Bud Mount with Central nose ring , this made the CG at almost same spot that is was with the OS .
I really enjoyed the 3 flights i got with this combo before i got some kind off failure most likely in the reciver or xtal , not really sure yet but what i think is that this is somethingthat maybe had happen in some time anyway maybe it had needed some more fligths with the less vibrating OS.
I'm starting to collect some more epquiment to a new plane and are going to get my Ys repaird or get a new one so is there any negativ thoughts to use a Bud Mount or to i need to used a Hyde ...its almost 3 times price , i have been recomended to use the front mount from the YS 160 DZ-M if i get a Hyde i think its the ARA that will be the one .
Any thoughts guys
If you take a look at the pics you can see how a Twister looks after hitting frozen ground in ca 200 km\h, it was no problem to get it into the car that day ......
