The only props that come pre drilled are the ones with the single hole in the middle of them (all of them) outside of that if you need other holes drilled (4 bolts, 6 bolts) depending on your motor that is up to you to do.
They are not hard to drill yourself if you take your time and drill from both the front and back. Most engines have a drill jug you can buy to assist in this process.
I do not know what the DL needs or if a drill jig is available, but if you take your time it's not that bad at all.
Some good props are, Xoar, Mejzlik, Menz, Vess. It really depends on your flying style. For example a Vess has large amounts if thrust for 3D but is very loud and doesnt work well in IMAC.

The DL drill jig is the same as the DA 50; that's what I use with my drill press.
If you want to do your own drilling, get the DA 50 "PSP"-brand Drill Jig from Troy Built Models.
Troy Built will also pre-drill props; check their website.
Tom Denney at Valley View RC http://www.valleyviewrc.com/ also can do it, and he carries Xoar props, which are just fine.
Bob Kramer at DL-USA probably can also pre-drill for the DL 50 ... drop him a line at www.dlusa.com

Troy Built Models will drill multi-bolt props; I have bought several PT Carbon Fiber props from them. I would expect they would also drill wood props.
Call em up.
