NPC > All, that is, if you can afford it.

I don't record ever putting astros with a hypno, Astros with wide ant, sure. Astro with vlad, maybe. The only time I ever use astros is cuz I can't afford NPC.

NPC + Mini: 45 kg, 32*1 = 32 Speed, 1000HP.

NPC + Mini gives you more speed for the weight, but if you're mounting them inside the chassis, a little over a third of the HP. Popups require speed to be effective, so I'd personally go for the NPC option.
