In the past I I have run the Hacker C50 10XL and B50 10XL with great sucess in my XT8 and older xb8tq conversions.
The hacker motors are very high quality, but I do think the Neu is just a bit cooler running. Ive also run and own a number of Lehner motors. I actually think they are my favorite motor for 1/8, but they are very difficult to get and very expensive in the US. The 2 pole Lehner motors are very responsive and snappy feeling when compared to the 4 pole Neu motors. Think of the difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke gas engine is the best comparison I can make.
IMO you will be good with any of the motors mentioned. You are on the right track avoiding the low cost, low quality motors. they will get you running, but you will quickly be looking to replace them for something more efficient.
