Sensored knows exactly where the rotor is and fire the correct coil, so no guess work and you get a smooth stutter free start up. With the new hybrid technology, you get both. At slow speeds or just on start ups you'll be in sensored mode, but then it just goes to sensorless which takes advantage of timing and maybe some other engineering things I'm not aware of. I think that sensored might offer a better efficiency because it reduces the starting power needed. I'm not sure how the RX8 will be, but I've noticed that sensored uses less start up AMPs then sensorless with some of the hybrid ESCs I have used. So the difference between the two is basically a sensored set up will always start your motor with no stuttering issues which could come handy for speed runs.
