I have a UL-1 motor, a Seaking 90 and run a X442 prop in mine. It runs well and doesn't get hot but I would go with a Seaking 120 or 180 if I didn't already have the 90.
Those would let you get more aggressive with props

This is mine and yes that is a second place trophy from last weeks finals!
UL-1 motor and esc Grim 42x55 prop and it well, got me second
and it was running stupid wet because I did not scruff the bottom after the new paint job last week..
temps were 96* motor and 92* on the esc, and had 43% left in the the packs after every heat
before the paint job, my motor never saw 92* and esc would get to about 88* with 52% left in the packs
