Jabiru 3300 Fuel

I have heard everyone talking about different fuels. I am getting ready to start my Jabiru of 460 hrs. I did a top overhaul. I had all 6 cylinders done by Arion Aircraft. My question is does the first start matter the difference of fuel. I assume the MOgas is the non ethanol, and of course the AV gas is 100LL. I was thinking of getting 5 gal of Non-ethanol and calibrate my fuel sensor as I go. Thanks in advance Nick

Unless you are really pinching pennies, 100LL seems to be the way to go (at least it has been great for me).

I put a little Marvels in my fuel and I like to think it keeps the lead deposit count low.

I've been using decalin for lead scavenging. Have not had the engine apart but the plugs looked great at the last annual.
