Motors for 2"-2.5" props

Question

I'm still trying to understand size, KV, etc so I wanted to ask for some expert advice before I waste my money on the wrong choices.

I'm planning to build a micro running 2" - 2.5" props (probably DYS 2030 tri-blades or maybe one of the new 4 or 5 blade props, depending on what works best) for acro practice, learning FPV 'freestyle' and just cruising around, not for the most extreme speed and power.

I will be using 2S batteries but having the possibility of upgrading to 3S in the future might be nice.

The questions:

  1. Are 1103 or 1104 better for a 'lazy' build like I described above?
  2. Would lower or higher KV be better (and why)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please note: I tried asking this on r/multicopterbuilds, but got no responses... if asking here is wrong, just let me know and I'll delete it.
