I looked into it and it seems that a DC motor is more optimal than AC. A brushless motor of that size would be more expensive than brushed, and probably hard to find. DC brushed are sold at websites like this one

I don't particularly like the distinction between AC and DC because of the fact that brushless motors can be run off of both types of power. In an AC implementation you apply an alternating current with an equal phase distribution. In an DC implementation you switch the phases in a certain order just with a DC voltage you can get from a battery. In the long run brushless motors will in fact be more cost effective than brushed because of issues involving wear and maintenance.
