Depending on power needed, weight limit and money limit. Any of those.

Emir, those are both Li Co type chemistry. Not safe. You cannot ship on a passenger aircraft and maybe not by air at all.
Sure you get about 200 watt hours per Kg. You need about 2KW hours to launch a 500 Kg glider to 2000 feet allowing for prop inefficiency. You might want another 6000 feet for a retrieve so 8 KW hours. While the cells may have 200 watt hours/kg you'll need to interconnect them, monitor each cell and at least make an attempt to isolate cell problems. This can drastically reduce the watt hours/kg. I once discussed this with some people at a commercial drone shop (they also flew R/C and used LiPos all the time and had a professional interest for their drones) and was told Tesla had 180 watt-hour cells in the original Roadster but when all the packaging and protection was added they were 108 watt - hours/kg. the cells you mention are about 10 watt - hours each so you need 800 of them. That is a lot of interconnects. What do you think is the probability of of a badly manufactured cell catching fire? What about 800 of them?
