Yamaha vs Mercury vs Evinrude vs Tohutsu 90hp

My question is which of the 90 horsepower stock motors is probably best for racing in a stock 90 hp racing class with a Phantom 16 tandem deck boat? (Yamaha vs Mercury vs Evinrude vs Tohutsu)

Wise Words from Chaos as per usual -

Frode "helped" Mercury develop the 1988 Version - It was a total fail -
