If you plan on playing speedball at all, then go for the Evo. You can just wrap it in camo cloth when you play in the woods.

I think the Evo is better. Had an A-5.. Didn't like it. Evo has a reg and eyes. But for the $$ you might want to consider an Ion. But only if you're going to get HPA. The Evo is a good choice. Everyone says the barrel is decent. Has a reg, has eyes. PMI supposedly has excellent support. Can shoot C02, (summer only, winter HPA is a must).

Ok, well I was in your place a about 2 years ago, I was deciding between the same two guns. Like the guys above stated the Evo will be much better in speedball, and its only weakness to the A-5 in the woods is its color.
This being said, I went with the A-5, I really don't like fixing guns. The A-5 is much more reliable, never left me hanging. Just 2 weeks ago some of my friends with electro guns spent 2 hours getting them to work. I'm not kidding 2 hours, myself and all my other mech owning friends were standing around waiting for them...
So in the end its up to you, I played speedball with my A-5, and it didn't hinder me too bad. And I never had a problem with it, I put paint in the hopper, air on the gun and went out and played. Thats just the way I like it, but for some having the speedball friendly setup is nice, but you will have to fix it more.
In the end the choice is yours to make.

If you keep it cleaned and lubed there should be no reason to have to fix it anymore than a Tippman.
The only way I'd say go woth the Tippman is if you plan on playing 99% woods/scenario. The only weakness the Evo has to the Tippy is that the Tippman will stand up to being dropped/booted around more. Be careful not to trip and be careful on your dives and that won't be a problem.

If you plan on playing speedball go with the evo, however if your going to be playing outdoors in large areas, id go with the A-5, hasnt let me down and works perfect.
