Default Broadhead preferences.....

Hi guys, finally getting set up to see how bow hunting is, I've been primarily a gun hunter for a number of years now. I purchased a used bow from a guy I know, so far I've had it restrung and tuned for me.
I'm well aware of the myriad of options and accessories available but my question is broadhead selection, I've read that the mechanicals typically don't have the penetration that fixed blades do. What are your guys experiences with both. I'm not looking to break the bank here but I figure it's like your gun you got to find what the bow likes.
My setup is a PSE sidewinder, draw length 29", pull weight with the new string is 59.4lb. I plan on shooting carbon shafts for the 60 lb range. What broadheads would you recommend for a complete newby to bow hunting. I was thinking 3 or 4 blade Muzzy's at 100 gr. or the Wasp 100 gr.
Any input greatly appreciated.
