good budget BRUSHED ESC for 19T, please help me choose

I'm currently considering these (under $50 ESCs), its for use with a good quality 19T spec motor:

traxxas XL-1

Associated A.I. Quantum Runner Plus
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKYX6&P=7

Novak XRS Reversible Sport ESC
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGNG5&P=7

Futaba MC230CR ESC w/Reverse 20+T
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUY13&P=7

Actually the traxxas specs looks good (75 amps continuous, 100amps surge), and it has a lower price that the other 2...
I was surprised that its way higher in specs vs the novak... (only 40 amps), seems to have the same specs as the Quantum, but seems the quantum weigths less ...

The futaba says its rated for 90amps.. higher than the other ones, but say it supports up to 20Turn motors (???)... confusing, would that mean all of them would have trouble with a good 19T motor?

difficult choice... which one should I pick?

One note, because of the fun factor, it does need to have reverse... will this affect performance against other non reverse ESCs?
