ESC question

OK cart213, the main reason why i ask this is because i'am to convert my revo into brushless and i've order an MGM Compro 16018 with a Neu 1515, 1Y.
And i want a spare ESC in case where the MGM died.
On my revo, i use the stock mechanical brake, so if i go with the baracuda, you can tell me that t's a solid choice??
But please tell me about the cogging with castle and Neu combo Lot of guys here tell that Mamba Max controler cog like crazy with Neu, but is the barracuda run great with the Neu motor??

thank you!
