It depends on what you want it for. If you are planning on using the MFU with one of Tamiyas trucks or 3 speeds then you want to look out for manual trims on the transmitter, which is getting harder to find these days.

Choice is getting limited on 40mhz - I chose a 40mhz set myself as I already had plenty of spare multi channel receivers I can use with it. There are a bigger range on 2.4 Ghz as they are compatible with aircraft.

Spektrum radios on 2.4Ghz are pretty good value, and pretty popular because of that.

Futaba make a decent range with a good reputation. When Tamiya needed a radio compatible with their three speeds, the Futaba Skysport 4 was rebadged as the 4VWD. When I needed a multi channel radio as I needed a computer radio I went for the Futaba 6EXP, the extra two channels not costing much more over the 4 channel version.
