What you are asking is very subjective and you will get many different answers based on the respondant's personal preferences.

Both planes are manufactured by respected companies, so pick which one you like better.

Both motors are manufactured by respected companies and are used by top notch competitors, so pick which one you like better. One is geared (assuming you are talking about the Hacker inrunner motors), one is not (outrunner).

Servos from any of the top radio manufactures will work with either plane. Basic requirement is that the servo is fast enough, strong enough and centers adequately for the particular control surface it is used. There are many threads here on RCU about various servos for our planes. You might try a search.

I am sorry this is a vague answer, but there is no single right answer to your question, but there are many choices that will work.

My personal recommendation is copy what has been successful for someone flying the plane you pick. Same servos, motor and TX/RX will have been proven by that competitor. With that approach, you are not experimenting but start with something that already works. You can experiment later.

BTW, the Valiant is brand new. Not much info on it yet. I think they are just getting ready to ship the first ones.
