Tamyia are rated for 15 amps.
Kyosho are rated for 10 amps.
Considering the easy availability of Dean's connectors, they are the best choice.
BTW, I have paid as much as $10/connector for the Tamiya and Kyosho in a bind. What a rip-off!!

Dont' forget cycle life. Deans and other "good" connectors have a cycle life several hundred times that of molex, or tamyia/kyosho. They also have a much much lower resistance which means more power for your gun. the conenctors will also not melt (they should not) where as the cheap ones will melt if too much current tries to pass through them. Some "good" conenctors are also self cleaning meaning oxidization etc is no longer a concern.
