4901 has used all of them. If you want to get into CAN, then the Talon SRX is the ticket. If you're on a budget, the Team Cockamamie Ri3D build ran (full disclosure: donated) Sparks just fine; we swiped them off the Team Cockamamie robot and dropped them into Sandstorm III eventually, and they ran just fine there too. We ran Talon SRs on Sandstorm II; for all of that robot's faults, the electrical system wasn't one of them.

In short, they're all good. Which one is best depends on your team's particular priorities of space on the robot, budget, and CAN utilization.
