I hate feeling like I know too little to even have an opinion. I know that CS is not in the cards, but among FP/GA, what is the short version of why one prop material is better than the other? Right now I'm looking at Vans site where the (fixed-pitch) metal and (ground-adjustable) composite are nearly the same price, and I can't think of any reason to choose the metal one in that case. Composite is lighter, doesn't have fatigue or cracking, doesn't have a repair-limited life...not seeing a downside.
Wood is not out of the question either, the lower cost is appealing, but wood needs extra care and attention. I'll probably be parked outdoors a lot and I feel like my checklist will be long enough already.
The decision is a ways off, I'm still working through my tail kit. But I'm finalizing my finish kit order, one of the minor choices is whether to omit the spinner, which depends on what prop I plan to use. So it's on my mind.
