First question after how big is the model. Is it a model for just flying occasionally? I have used the Leopard motors from Altitude Hobbies with very good luck on many of my sport models. They seem to be nearly as good as the Cobra motors if not just as good for less cost. Don't get me wrong my fleet includes several Cobras and BadAsses. I just don't invest that much on an the "occasional" airplanes.
Be cautious about the motor numbers, not all are consistent how they define their motors. Always check the wattage. For a 60 size model you need around 900 watts bigger is not bad and a spin of around 700kv. The ZTW ESC's, also available from Alititude work very well, include a decent governor and are inexpensive. They are my go too for other than PA and likely would work just fine there too. Best battery for the dollars are the Hobby Stars via RC Juice.
The Leopard 4260 is about the same motor as the BA 3520 at 1100 ish watts and is $60 v $75.
