Next Build. Need Opinions
#1
So I've now completed two builds (Rooster https://intofpv.com/t-first-build--6931, and Gecko https://intofpv.com/t-next-build-4s-3-armattan-gecko), and am fully and completely addicted I'm ready to build another.  I have a frame (Armattan Badger) and enough parts to build it a couple different ways.  The Rooster was built on an AIO FC with individual ESC's and the Gecko with a stack with a 4n1.  I'm basically wanting another 5" so I have two in case I have a major crash and can't fly one.  Going 4S as well.

Here is what I have, as far as FC/ESC combos.  Opinions please.  I have all other parts for the build as well.

Mamba F722S
Mamba F40 MK2 ESC
Matek FCHUB -6S
Lumenier F4 AIO (Prefer to not use this one and keep as a backup for the Rooster)

I've never done a build with a separate PDB, so maybe the F7 with the Matek and individual (30 amp) ESC's?  I'll definitely have some questions going this route.
F7 to F40 is just as ribbon connector, so pretty easy, hehe.  Or is it not?

I await your ideas....

Deal
Here's the Deal

10" 6S FR10-G Long Range, 5" 6S Rooster, 5" 6S Badger, 5" 6S QAV-S, 5" 4S Badger, 5" 4S Phreakstyle Slam, 5" 6S Yema, 5" 4S Stark, 3" 4S Gecko, and a 3S 2.5" Tadpole, all of which are Crossfire.  Tinyhawk, Tinyhawk S, and a DJI Spark.  And projects on the bench....

I think you are knowledgeable enough to know what you want. I try to keep things simple.

If 4in1, I usually want to use a connector between FC and ESC.

If separate, I would buy an integrated PDB FC.

Going FC, ESC and PDB takes up too much room and too much wire soldering.

I would definitely use the mamba FC and ESC combo for the build. You have them already, no brainer to me and pretty easy.

Thanks for the input. With rain on the way this weekend I might get to building this.
