I am not the expert on this topic by far.. But I have 3 shopsmiths two have ge motors one has an ao smith motor. All three run great.. I don't think it matters.

I agree, but the GE has(I assume) the external start relay and capacitor whereas the A O Smith has internal start switch.
Take your pick.

Let $ be your guide.
P.S. I am assuming both have the pulley etc..
