I had a Custom 98 with the revvy hopper (12v) and it's excellent for woodball.

Also I am new to paintball and found that set up to be minimal maintenance.

I've just got an A5 now though, so wondering if I should keep the C98 or not, we shall see...

If you want to turn a gun into a milsim get an A5. Opsgears has plenty of options for the A5.

How about none?  Don't buy anything - you haven't even played yet.  Play with loaners/rentals for a while, and make sure that you at least like paintball...

that is definately my suggestion   i would also recommend the A-5 if you like the sport and plan on staying for a while   i mean the 98c is almost just as good but thats just personal preference   they will last you about the same amount of time...forever

If you ask me I would say that the Tippmann M 98 custom is the best gun of all of them. It is truly a superior firearm and also a powerful detearent that can scare any opposing player, and with only its size and loud bang that it makes after every shot strikes fear into all of the opponents big and small. If you are a really bad shot there is some website that sells paintball shotguns for close range and somewhat accurate shooting.

well/  You should definetly get the A-5.  It is the same as a 98C only it basically has a mechanical anti-chop and mechanical hopper thats as good as an electric.  but Its more expensive than the others.  DONT GET THE PRO/CARBINE, its the same price as the 98C only worse.  All three are tactical guns over speedball.  GET THE A-5 if ur willing to spend a little more,.
