Default stiletto vs. Solas vs Michigan wheel vs. mercury....

I see alot of threads about sizing, but I am having trouble finding information comparing brands and models...

I think I have figured out that I need a 21 pitch for my 1992 115hp yamaha... Iboats gives the following options:

Turning Point express
Solas HR titan (in 3 and 4 blade)
Stiletto Advantage I
Solas New SAturn
Michigan Wheel apollo
Michigan Wheel avenger

I am looking for a good all around prop biased towards skiing slalom, wakeboarding, etc... maybe barefooting in the near future...

The boat is a 1970 17' sea ray v-hull, with a super smooth paint job on the bottom, and it is light weight. Thanks in advance for any advice.

That would be my choice to start with...Highest technology of any you listed and a very good over-all prop.RPM should be atleast 5600-5700 at WOT normal load.
