    Both will work though members have been moving from MMs to Sabertooth as Sabertooths are pretty much bullet proof, it has been faulty clone MMs driving that shift.

    ive found non clone boards $116.00aud
    there great boards to ..
    the sabertooth has 2 wires running the thing ..there no solder and the 1 i use the 2x60 has in built fan and heat sink...i wanted to run 100watt motors so i needed 2 mms one per motor..you end up with wires everywhere and this is where the issues will pop up..way easier with the sabertooth

    Theoretically you can't burn them but only if connecting the battery backwards, this will destroy the Sabertooth and void the warranty.
