A 3 blade prop will give you ground clearance and a quieter airplane. You will actually loose a bit of thrust.

One other thing it will give you is a rather poor selection of avalible propellors by comparison.

They also slow the plane down a lot faster when landing. I have a couple of three blades and I can't locate a spinner for them in a hobby shop, they need to be ordered most the time.
