Hi again!
Well ... I think it makes no difference if the motor is behaving itself and the ESC is happy with everything. ESPECIALLY if you are using something other than the world renowned "Electro Fusion" motor.
It's coincidental the the forum right below your "poll" deals with yet another motor/ESC situation.

As you may note from reading between the lines, this problem includes a never ending string of variables which, as time has passed, have been dealt with by many and some conclusions have been made as to what works best with what.
Run what you've got and just keep your eye on it!
Happy Choptering,
Russ
