I think the point of the list is that you can take it to a hobby shop, find any of the listed models on the shelf, buy it, and have a plane that will be perfectly fine for learning to fly.

If the store has multiple choices: Flip a coin. Choose the least expensive, or the most expensive, or pick your favorite color.

Everyone has their "favorite" combination but the truth is that any of the trainers Ken listed will get the job done.
