I'm using the align blades and like them for the most part. The woodies that osterizer mentioned are probably your best bet for a beginner blade. They are more efficient than the stock tt wood blades. I haven't tried a single blade on my MT that didn't require some form of spacer other than the stock blades.

Align also makes some cheaper CF and fibreglass blades (still under 15 bucks a set) that are not bad either. I think I like the woods the best though.
