G'day

I like them both. These days, the MA are a bit hard to find around here (country Australia) but the APC are pretty common.

I like the MA for their toughness. As has already been said, if you have a minor prop strike with a MA, it just gets a bit dirty and worn but usually they don't break. If you do the same with an APC, they usually don't survive.

As for performance, I think the APC work better. They are certainly better balanced.

I always sand the rough edges off both types with some 220 grade wet and dry paper. Less cut fingers and they work better too.

Now if Bolly props would come back on the market. They were really great.
