If you get a Taranis you probably want an X9D. The X9E is a tray radio which may or may not be what you use. Without knowing more about that multirotor it is hard to make suggestions. For example, what flight control board does it use?

Both FrSky (Taranis) and the newer line of Spektrum transmitters would with fine. Both can support PWM connections to the board or a single cable connection to the board. If you have a local group of people to fly with you might consider getting what they have so they can assist you with programming your radio. Your budget is also a consideration.

For $300 or less you have 3 options with which I am personally familiar.

FrSky Taranis
Spektrum DX7 G2
Spektrum DX6

See here for some differences:

Sometimes they come up for sale in the classifieds here....but mostly people tend to hang on to them

I don't know anything about your board so I don't know what that plug is.
