from what i watched at a recent event you must inc the b44.1/b44 as it won
  1. B44.1 or B44 very robust not seen or heard of any major problems
  2. DURANGO if the price was'nt so high it would be no.1, also early ones had issues
  3. CAT SX2 OR UPRATED SX1, 50/50 some good some bad

totally my opinion and personal experience...

B44 very strong, but seems to have weak front wishbones and shock shafts. Otherwise I didn't have any other major problems. I found it had a habit of nose diving off jumps... might be my driving style or fixed with the B44.1.

Durango can't comment. never owed or driven 1.

Cat SX. Good car, but seems to have weak transmission. namely the idle gears which have just been updated so need more testing. Rides the bumps very nicely and very easy to jump.

I have driven all of them and even though the B44 is a good car I did not like it. I had the original CAT SX and have not tried the new SX2 but I just could not dial it in. I now run with an early edition full fat DEX410 and love it. Car choice is really what you get on with and if you can it is best to try them.
