Default Prop for 3D?

Hi guys just thought i would get your sugestion on a prop.
I have a goldberg sukhoi arf with a saito 1.80 on it im thinking a 18x6 prop would be good on it but am not sure if that is to much prop for the 1.80. If i do go with the 18x6 im going to go with a Mezlick prop. Also what would be a good break in prop for the engine. from what im reading in the manual they dont have a recomended break in prop so im selecting the one that was recomended the most which is a 16x8. I have heard that you need to go up one size if you go with a mejzlick prop is this true? sorry for the questions just want to get it right for my first four stroke. Thanks

What is the difference between the apc wide and the mejzlik 18x6 besides weight? I would think that the mejzlik would have better throttle response because its a lighter prop?

I am going to try an apc 17x4w on my goldberg sukhoi arf but im running a saito 150. It flew great with an apc 16x6 but I think the engine needed just a little more prop.
