Default Need very quick help regarding props

Sending out an order to Tower Hobbies today and I need to know. I received this post in my thread . . .
Trimming the the spinner is almost mandatory if you are using APC props. MASTER AIRSCREW props tend to fit without a problem along with wood props . So if trimming is out of the question then change the brand of prop you are using. Top flight make wood props. Other than that a .46 engine will be begging for a prop that has a pitch of 6 or better. GL.
. . . and was wondering if the propellor material is all that important for either beginner fliers or trainer airplanes. Master Airscrew appears to only make wooden propellors so are they OK for trainers and beginner pilots, or should beginners and/or trainers stick to nylon props? If I'd be better off with nylon, what is a good brand that fits good into plastic spinners without having to trim or too much fuss?

Thank you for any speedy answers I can get.
