Depends in what regards:
Build quality: Prometheus
Gear Whine (quietness): Prometheus
Price: Classic Army
I use Prometheus in my own AEG's. Another analogy, is that CA gears are the wife. Prometheus gears are the smoking hot mistress.

When I was installing the new cylinder head in the cylinder, I was thinking, when the piston head thrusts forward in the cylinder, wouldn't the cylinder head be pushed forward over time? It is not screwed or fastened to the cylinder. How is the cylinder head secured to the cylindeR?

The pegs in the gearbox hold the cylinder head in place. Indents in the gearbox hold the cylinder in place. So essentially, the gearbox is what secures the cylinder head to the cylinder.

I've never seen that before either, but I'd just clip the ends off and solder on female spade terminals.

Do the "air seal test". Cover the air seal nozzle with your right index finger. Place the assembled piston in to the cylinder, and jam it forward as hard as you can, as if the spring were pushing it from behind. If you have a good air seal, you should be stopped solid in mid-stroke. If there's a minor leak (usually at the base of the air seal nozzle), then the piston will be able to compress slowly, but you will still feel a great pneumatic force resisting your push on the piston assembly.
