I think either is fine personally. There are bind n fly kits out there that come with Spektrum receivers preinstalled that requires a Futaba user (me) to remove and replace ($).

I bought Futaba as I fly expensive helicopters. I bought it when Spektrums were being criticised for signal problems (brown outs, black outs). That's all fixed and I haven't seen a radio problem on a spektrum with a genuine receiver. Futabas also have some very neat helicopter functions and the model I purchased (T8FG) had super fast frame rates (tx speed).

The Futaba is fantastic and if I had my time over I'd buy it again. I guess in the end it is a "Holden v Ford" argument. Both are good but one is better - just depends who you ask!
