RE: I'm confused.
depends on what kind of tires you plan on running. 19t spec motors are good all around but some do not have the power needed to run grippier tires like the hpi type a's or tamiya d specs. I would say brushless is the way to go. the novak 10.5/ 4300 systems are pretty good all around and the 8.5/ 5800 systems have more power and can be somewhat overkill especially on abs.
