My choice of examiners...what do you think?

L

I was just wondering what you guys think of my choice of examiners for my viva...? I know its too late to change anything, but just wanted to know your opinions...
My external is the guy who scooped my first paper - we work on the same concept - but I look at one gene and he looks at another. Fortunately, out results and conclusions are in agreement but it was a struggle for me to publish because his results were already out there..(I did though in the end!!!).
My internal is someone fairly new to me - he is starting collaborative work with our lab and has come to lab meetings and seen me present and so he (roughly) knows some of my data and I get along with him fairly well and am used to talking to him etc.
What do you think guys?

Sounds good. I am not so sure about the internal. He sounds a good choice but you don't mention whether he is sympathetic to your methodology etc. If so, then great. It's a stressful process isn't it!
