I have both. I started with ST mini. It is ok. It has some problems with hot vapes so changing the drip tip to some delrin will make it better. I like it for the ability to change the color of the rings so you can have them color coded by juice. Yeah, I'm OCD like that :) . Other pros: easy to see the juice level, easy to fill and clean.
After that I got Delta II. The tank is awesome. It is my go to tank. So my suggestion will be to start with Delta II with RBA head. Price wise Delta II with additional RBA head is a couple of bucks more expensive. But it is worth it. The drawbacks are a little harder to fill up (small space between the glass and chimney) and the ability to easily see the level of juice.
I got both from sweet-vapes.com. They have a nice selection of tanks and parts.

I got the Subtank. I absolutely love it. I chose it over the Delta 2 for a couple of reasons. The wicking material in the stock coil heads and the ease of building on the rta deck. You won't regret it.
To me the building of the RBA deck is similar.
To me, the slight advantage of Delta II over the ST mini is the higher distance from the deck floor to the air flow hole thus, in my opinion being less prone to flooding/leaking.

I've got two Subtank Minis and use them both on two different mods. I am getting another one as well. I looked at the Delta II and it looks like a decent RTA. The only reason why i won't choose a delta over a Subtank Mini is the cost of a spare RBA deck. A spare RBA deck for the Subtank Mini is £2.99. A spare RBA deck for the Delta II is £10. I haven't used a Delta but i'd imagine it's performance is equal to the Subtank Mini. Shame about the cost of spares !. As it is i have a spare RBA deck for each tank. And i'm not paying £10 for a spare simply because it isn't worth a tenner. So it's about cost to me.

I just got the Delta 2 regardless of what I have heard about them. I'm impressed. Tons of airflow and vapor production. Love the adjustable juice flow coils. Can't tell ya about the rta deck. It didn't come with one and they didn't have them there for purchase.

Tapped from my LG G3
yeah, im only interested in it for the RBA section. I hate buying pre made coils

Ok i decided to go with the Sub Tank Plus. I like its 7ml capacity and the fact I can see the juice level. I hope it was not a mistake but only time will tell :)

I think you'll like it. I have all the Subtanks and maybe it goes against conventional wisdom, but I think the flavor is better on the Subtank Plus than the Mini. With the RBA installed, I think it's on par with my Goliath and it has better airflow than the Goliath despite the smaller diameter chimney.

Thats great to hear...I love the airflow of the Goliath. Thanks for letting me know

I have 2 Delta ll's and 2 Subtank but my Deltas make the juice addictive its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! The subtanks kind of leave me cold. I use them as I have 4 mods so one on each but the Deltas get my favourte juice while the sub tanks get the second favourite juice, the ones i don't care for as much

I think its all subjective and best to buy one of each :)

That said I dont subohm on the Mini and get a better wick experience without burned hits.

As I write this I see you have bought the Subtank.
Hope all goes well :)

( i did buy the rebuildable deck for both of them.)

Im a sucker for looks and the Detla 2 just has a giant Evod look to it with those tiny window slots. I do plan on getting one in the future to see what all the fuss is about with the flavor and all.
