Jive has internal BEC, which others are missing and Castle has logging. But max voltage from Jive is just 6 volts, so no HV-servos then. For the price of Jive, I would take instead Yge 120HV K (K=better cooling) and Gryphon Quasar BEC (really BEC doesn't need to be 12S-capable as you can connect it to lower 6S only) or any decent BEC with adjustable voltage.

Castle is much cheaper (190e from freakware) than Yge/Kontronik and it is widely used. Usually works OK, just don't try to run low throttle% (partial load causes ESC to heat due missing active-free wheeling). Internal governor doesn't match with Yge/Kontronik.

Just get some and go flying, summer is short
