And it depends what roles you are going to use them in - low level night flight in very poor light levels then go for the best you can get. Otherwise, pretty much anything past gen 3 ought to do fine.

Then you have to look at the design - where are the batteries and do you need a counterweight - the smaller the mass of the assembly and the better the balance, the fewer problems your crews will have with neck and head fatigue and injury.
