C rating matters... Higher c rating should indicated lower internal resistance. If that low resistance is there and remains the pack will have a long life and produce good power. The internal resisatnace tends to go up as a battery ages (goes thru cycles) and the higher the resistance the lewss power the batt will produce. So going with the highest c rated pack (as long as it is true) will have the lowest internal resistance and hopefully last that way. Plus if you paln to run a certain output (watts) a higher c rated battery will have more headroom than a lower on will, and should perform better and not be pushed as hard, and last longer.

So C rating matters. I would rather run a 1000c battery than a 10c if all other factors (weight, size, etc) were the same.
