Turnigy Bolt 3400mAh 6S 65~130C HV $72.37US
Turnigy Graphene 3000mAh 6S 65C $68.04US
Revolectrix 3000mAh 6SHV 22.8V Lipo - 70C SILHV label $77.95US

Does anyone have experience with the Bolt, Graphene, or Revolectrix lipos? I have some Revolectrix (not high voltage) that I have ran in an EDF and it comes down cool with no puffing but I also do not run it full throttle for the entire flight.

I don't want to get caught up in the hype but a battery that can take the stress of an EDF would be ideal. On another note do I really need the high C count or is that more fluff?
Sounds like you've done your research as these are generally regarded as the top three at the moment. They are also very reasonably priced compared to local name brand packs so that is an added bonus.

You'd be surprised what a difference a good lipo can make in an EDF or even any high performance prop plane.
