Default Slick Trick or Spitfire? Which would you use?

I have both Slick Trick magsand Spitfires in my quiver.
I've never killed a deer with either head (I did use the ST standard once last year).
Hunting from a blind (no mesh) with a maximum shot of 30 yards or less.
Both heads fly great.
Bow / arrow combo generates 69# of KE
I've been alternating which head goes up to bat each time I hunt, but no deer have cooperated yet.

Which would you use, why?

I notice the poll has slick tick mag. I like the way the standard flies better. Here's why I like them. Everything I've shot with slick tricks has had an awesome blood trail and I've recovered it.

Notice not just deer but the amount of elk, moose and african game taken with slick tricks.

While I've never shot the Slick Tricks, I have used the Spitfires exclusively for 5 or 6 years now and I haven't been disappointed with them. I can trust them to fly just as the practice head does, and they're nasty when they connect. I don't see me changing any time soon.
