gens ace are the new ones that have just come out 5200mah think there £108 each can charge a 5c

Just get the genace lipos unless you are a 3d guru.

I'd say get the haiyin lee there a good pack from what I've seen of the one heathy bought.
I intend getting one set for my 700e v2 to evaluate the buy more when I'm happy.

I use giant powers on my goblin and I highly recommend them. They have had approx 60 cycles each and they are still like new. No puffing, internal resistance is ranging from 2.5 to 3.8 on all 8 packs. I think as they aren't the "well known" brand people stay away from them but I can yell you they are missing out.

As the gensace/opti's are a similar price I would go for the opti's purely down to the UK service provided by Andy.
I've not tried the cheaper packs so couldn't comment on those. The 5C charge rates won't be healthy whichever packs you choose (manufacturer's tell you what you can force into a pack rather than what's good for a pack).

Hayin or gensace would be my recommendations nothing really wrong with turnigy blue though.

Depends a bit on your level of flying

But if you want the best scoprion or thunderpower

+1 on blue turnigy. I have them for all of my electric helis. Cheap and quick from Hobbyking UK.
