Default Best Vanes?

I have just purchased CX400 arrows cut to 28 inches and need to get flechings. I am looking for fletchings with minimal clearance requirements, adaquate spin properties, durability, and quiet. My rest is a TKO Dropaway and I shoot a string loop.

Blazers are great vanes and would meet all those requirements

i have used the bohing vanes they are real stiff and the are extremly durable,,ive had some on my a/c/c's that i used last year and my bow has a terrible sight window when it come to size and all the vanes ive tried hit the riser,i have shoot these arrow a lot and did not have one turn wavy or any thing,,i just reciently switch to the easton vanes that they have at wal mart and have had no troubles with them,,i like them a lot better cause they aint as stiff and they are shorter than the bohning vanes,,just my .02

The newer version of the Vane Tec's are what I shoot now on both my hunting setup and my 3D setup. They are a little heavier, however I can't seem to wreck one of them. I have tried duravanes, plastifletches, easton, and they all get messed up much faster than the vane tec's. The Vane Tec's also don't require any prep, and you can't even pull them off the shaft when I use goat tuff. The best part is that they are around $8 for 100 of them.

I use the blazers and they are great. I also use a TKO dropaway, string loop, and CX300 arrows.

I like Blazers, but I now like VTECH's even more...
