The Mahle system is good. There are two versions, the X35 and the X20, the X20 being the newer system, with control improvements, but both are good. Lemond uses the X35 currently on their Prolog, and the weight is down to 27 lbs or so. Got one for my daughter, who commutes on it and likes it very much. Orbea uses the X20 on the Gain, similar weight depending on model. The Panasonic battery for the mahle is reputable. Range is modest on the X35, and quite decent on the X20, but both offer water bottle cage batteries as range extenders if needed. As with any bike, plan on preferred seat and pedals from the get go.
