The motor depends on the number of cells you want to run. The MGM would be good on 4-6S lipo.

For 4S: 1515/1Y 2200kv: 120A capable lipos needed; ~5000mah 20C cells min
5S: 1515 1700kv; 100A lipos; ~4000 mah 20C cells min
6S 1515 1500kv; 80A lipos; ~3300 mah 20C cells min

All will be strong performers, w/ about the same power output. The 6S/1500kv would be the coolest running, and likely the most powerful as the motor efficiency is highest, and would give a little bit more rpms, and could be tolerably geared the highest.

Finding chargers & balancers capable of 6S packs is a bit more tricky than 5S and below however. So a 4 or 5S setup is most convenient. The above recc packs will all give approx same runtime, and all are ~500g. Add more mah if you don't mind the weight for more runtime.

The boss setup would be 1500kv on 6S, and a NeuEnergy 3200 6S pack (500g), or a 3900mah pack @ 600g for the longest runtime. If you want crazy speeds (breaking 50mph) the 1700kv motor w/ the 3900mah pack would so it, but all will do mid 40s easy.

Its my understanding that Neu is selling motors as fast as they can make them. Leadtime is 4-6 weeks. Instead of waiting for stock, I would order the motor I want and wait. Perhaps if Mike already has that one ordered you'll get it a bit faster and it would be reserved for you. Mike can also get any other Neu lipo packs that may not be listed on the site.
