Max Amps vs. hyperion vs. grim racer

[MTboat]

Looking to get some new packs for my Miss Gieco, runing stock Esc and motor. Would like to upgrade here later. Also I using a Racers Edge AC/DC 1-6s balance lipo charger. I'm not racing this boat just playing on the lake.
Thinking about 2 2s packs 5000mha, or possibly 2 4s packs in parallel for longer run times. After reading several threads it seems the hyperion and the grim racer are comparable packs. I'm just concirened with the amount of times the pack can be charged before they are garabage ( recycled )
I really like my max amps I have for some of my trucks, and there 3-year 300-cycle guarantee is good piece of mind. SO:
1. What 2s pack to buy and from where? Max amps, grim racer, or hyperion.
2. what is the average amount of time a grim or hyperion can be charged?
3. 2 2s packs or 2 4s packs in parallel for longer run times?
4. Do I need a better charger or one that balances the charge for both batters? If so suggestions and links would be much appreciated.

Some of the racers are coming out with their opinions from experience on the Grim packs and its all good feedback so far. Not one so far has commented negatively. Might be early to say with certainty that they are as good as other packs but I would not doubt Mike is using quality components to brand his products. Keep you eyes open for online ratings because once these packs prove themselves I wouldnt doubt the price jumps up from the distributors. Just my 2 cents.

keep in mind that most any Lipo will give you 300+ runs if taken care of
maxamps charges big bucks for there packs because of this warranty
it's a pro-rated warranty with alot of ifs that only covers manufacture defects if proven so....
