Default Propeller for an Old Cub

I got a Hangar 9 Piper Cub (The one piece wing version) mounted with an O.S. 46 FX and a Futaba 6X Super transmitter. These parts are all roughly 20 years old and have never been run/used before. I've seen a lot of different propellers used for this engine, can you tell me what would be good for this setup. Ideally pattern flying, a couple of rolls and loops is what I want it to do. These are the sizes I have been looking at:
11 x 7
11 x 6
11 x 5
10 x 6
10 x 5
12.25 x 3.75

Thanks.

I would go with an APC 11x5.

I have that plane, 2 piece wing version. I agree the 11x5 is the best place to start. It's a draggy plane, so you need static thrust.

Thanks so much. I was looking at the 11 x 6. Now I know what to get.
