Default batteries for a furion 6

i'm trying to find batteries for my 10s furion 6, its harder than i thought, firstly what size and c rating should i go for, do i need good batteries like thunder power as they are quite pricey or are sky lipo's good enough,
i'm looking at around 4000mah and 30c, should i go bigger? is the c rating enough, so far all i've flown is my 450, i can throw it around fairly well but i'm a bit intimidated by the size of the furion6 although given time i'm sure i will get used to it, the only thing left for me to get now is batteries , any help would be appreciated
thank you
Anthony

Keep the batteries to approx. 600 grams each for balance.

I've been using the Sky Lipo 4400mah 40C and they are great for my flying.
I fly Sport, 6 minutes and the lipos come down at storage level.

Unfortunately the 40C have been out of stock for a while now
But the 30C are probably sufficient, at least for my flying, but they are a little bigger and heavier
max cont current (Amp) 132
max burst current (Amp) 264

I'm thinking I might go with the 4000mah 30C when I need more and fly only 5 minutes instead of 6.

I find the 4000 45C Zippy's great for the price.

Depends how much you want to spend.. Bobby used to run 4500 TP's but they'll cost a pretty penny.

Gens Ace 5s 4000mAh 25C have been working great in my F6 for awhile. 4:30 flights at 2400rpm.
