Default Fixed to mechanical

Ok, so the time has come. I'm making the switch this year from my traditional fixed 3-blade muzzy's, and trying out some mechanical broadheads. Since I don't have much experience with mechanicals I'm inquiring about some help. What kind do y'all suggest? Which have the truest flight? Best cutting diameter? Best made(most reliable)? Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Two that I would definitely try are the Rage 2 and 3 blade and the Grim Reaper heads. Both have great flight characteristics and do serious damage. I think the Rage 2 blade have the largest cutting diameter at 2 inches, but the other ones have three blades.

There are a lot of other great heads, those are just two I recommend.

I'm trying the reapers this year for the first time. I've shot them a lot into my Block, and they have opened every time with full penetration of the target. They fly very well also, but so do my Slick Tricks.

Well man I was always under the impression the lower the draw weight and FPS fixed blades...Usually matched to your fletchings. The higher draw weight and FPS mechanical. Just how Ive always shot... And i take 3-4 deer a year with my bow's.
