RE: Drop Away fast or drop away slow?
This isn't really a vote for either or but I think it is a matter of personal preference. Some folks shoot a whisker biscuit and that supports the arrow all the way through the fletching and they shoot just fine. Whatever rest that gives you confidence in your shot is the one that works. Sorry not a real answer but any number of rests that offer all manner of arrow "support" seem to shoot just fine.
