Criteria 1. There are at least two and hugely powerful so the failure of one of them doesn't take me to the scene of an accident shortly after. I want them big, man BIG!

Criteria 2. I want each to run on next to no fuel at all. I want them small, man, small!

Criteria 3. I don't want to have to lift the cowlings to check the oil levels (not that I EVER want to have to put any oil in them).

Who cares what they sound like? I don't want straight 6s or V8s, just a nice pair of turbines.
