Both are great markers, built like tanks. It all depends on what you want to do with it. Are you going to keep them stock? Do yo want to milsim it? How much money do you have to initially invest?

Three or four threads down you will find a thread exactly like this one, except everyone has already said their ideas.

Depends on the money. If you don't have much, go with the 98C and slowly upgrade it. If you have enough for the A5, then get that instead. Both are great guns and very close in performance. You can get a cyclone for a 98C, so that will mute the basic advantage of the A5.

I like the 98C over the A5 and X7 because it is just a very  classic and simple marker which can be upgraded and modded easy.

I don't like the cyclone. There will be a day when the Cyclone makes trouble  and you can't just put  another hopper on and continue playing.

I recommend  98 custom  with  good barrel (JJ or a barrel-sleeve kit) and later on  LPR, double trigger and  E-Hopper. RT can also make trouble. I don't like  the RT either.

This is all you need to enjoy playing without any trouble for a long time.
