If you're talking about the new one I heard that the Saito 1.25 works extremely well.

I would go with the DLE 30. The DLE 20 would be sufficient but the 30 would be unlimited.

well its the 1.20 size from hangar 9 its a bit larger than the great planes one and smaller than the 1/3 scale size that GP came out with several years ago. AND gawd I wish they would come out with it again.

If operating cost is not a factor, the 160 glow twin is my favorite! You can also convert it to CDI ignition on glow for better running down the road.
