Default Favorite Engine for Conversion

If you had your choice of engine brand and size from a weed eater or leaf blower what would you choose?
This will help me decide what I should get to convert. Also, if the carb needs to be replaced please let me know.

First choice Echo, second Homelite. Most all weed whacker engines respond well to a larger carburetor.

Echo 23.6cc. The older model are the best.

I want to build a 25cc Echo with a 23.6 cylinder.
