Default Pull start or E start?

hi, what do all you guys prefer, a pull start or an E start (which uses a drill).
what are the advantages and disadvantages of both. and does anyone know of any U.K sites which sells all the items required for converting an engine (non pull start, hyper .21 8port) in to the e start.

and please could you list the items required, so i can have a look around.
thanks

www.Microtechracing.com sells all the necesary parts for this conversion, but from experience I have found that the turbofan does not like the shock of the rotostart. But if you go ahead you need the Rotostart kit, Turbofan, Pullstart backplate, hex shaft and a strip of 1mm thick metal. see pics for conversion.

thanks alex! just another 2 things, would it be better to get a pull start instead of rotostart? and is a one way bearing (for the engine) the same as a turbo fan?
Also off that site you gave me, how much does it cost to convert an engine to pull start and rotostart?

thanks
