Default Super Tigre or Magnum?

Well everyone talks about the "Ford/Chevy" debate; I have yet to see on on this site =) So, here's a Toyota/Honda, if you will...
I'm a newbie, and poor at that, so I need to pick on of these engines:
Super Tigre G51 Ringed
Super Tigre GS-45 ABC
Magnum XLS-46 ABC

While there are 2 sized of SuperTigre, they seem to put out about the same amount of power due to the differences in construction (ABC vs Ring).

I will be flying a Hobbico Nexstar (.46-.51), with my eyes on a .40-.50 low-wing sport plane for #2.

I don't know how this works, but if you can add any comments, all are encouraged and appreciated - I've heard about a leaky carb in the Magnum, then about the ST so leaky you can't shut it off.

Thanks!!!
