That is an interesting set-up. Good to see someone got another "combo" that works well. The E-flight stuff werkt well but the weight was the draw back. Your right about the "cheap" stuff, I ususally chicken out and spend a couple bucks more for the name brand stuff.
The PA IPA works well with a 13x6 Xoar for me.
I'm not against paying "a couple bucks more", but the IPAs for the KMDor 260 costs $310... Compared with less than $50 for motor and ESC and $30 or so for a battery, that's a different ballpark from "a couple bucks more" to me...

So no problems with Turnigy?
None whatsoever in general. I'm certain that like any mass produced item there will be the odd "bad from the factory"ones, but nothing that would be seen as a flaw in the design/units themselves. My father just finished a Fliton Rogue bipe that's powered by Turnigy kit, I'm finishing a Yardbird Gunslinger today that's all Turnigy kit, my father will be building a Yardbird F-15 that'll be all Turnigy kit... Basically, unless there's a specific reason to order something other than Turnigy, we don't really order anything other than Turnigy now, and we haven't been burnt. Beyond our PA planes and the ones I just mentioned, there's something like 8 or 9 planes in my dad's garage (essentially, the rest of the electric planes of our collection) that are either all Turnigy, or Turnigy ESCs and some other motor that was specifically chosen for the task. Several control line stunters, a Sebart Sukhoi, a Pitts Python, and a bunch of foamies all loving the stuff.
It's your call in the end...but Idoubt you'll be disappointed with whatever you choose.
