Default Anyone into Nitro R/C Cars?

I'm looking at buying a cheap nitro radio controlled car and i have narrowed it down to a couple but I'm after some advice. I want it to be reliable and easy to start so I haven't got to faff about every time I want to use it. My thoughts are:

Traxxas Nitro Sport Stadium Truck
Kyosho Subaru Impreza
HPI MT2 Stadium Truck

Any advice would be welcome.
