If your after speed, and other factors are not as important, then a good quality fixed pitch, optimized for speed, is the answer.

However, If you would like good all around performance, then a constant speed is the ticket.

I have an MT constant speed on mine, I sacrificed about 5 kts of top end speed for performance in all other corners of the envelope.

I LOVE IT
