RE: WHAT DO YALL THINK ARE THE BEST VANES OUT!
I shot feathers through my biscuit. Worked well. Savage vanes from duravane are supposed to work well, or you could be a blazer groupie. 
I've shot those as well. Don't now. Using the 2" duravane.

I just switched to the Blazers and they seem to work just as well as my 4" Duravanes with field tips. However with my fixed broadheads the blazers seem to fly better for some reason?

RE: WHAT DO YALL THINK ARE THE BEST VANES OUT!
Honestly is there a best vane/feather.
I've shot Muzzy fixed blade 100 for more than 10 years, now the last several I've used Rocky Mountain Snypers on our own 5 Shots recommendation/review on the head some years ago but that's neither here nor there.
I've used feathers, 4" vanes, 3" vanes and now Blazers this year for the first time, now I haven't tried to tune my Muzzy's with the Blazers but when I tuned my Muzzy's to the feathers and 4" vanes and the 3" vanes as well I was able to get the Muzzy's to drive tacks....I could not shot groups with more than one arrow at a time because of fear of shaving blades, vanes, feathers or damaging arrows.
That being said, if all vanes, feathers, Blazers are able to perform with pin point accuracy, what makes one better than the other? I'd imagine durability is the only thing that comes to mind. A pefect shot is a perfect shot regardless of the vane, arrow, broadhead.....
It comes down to durability so in that respect, yes Blazers are on top, however perhaps not the only answer to problems when it comes to air drag, tuning fixed blade heads, FOC etc...etc....
Again, I haven't tuned fixed blade heads with Blazers but I have with other vane/feather setups....and it comes down to feathers are much more forgiving then all others, arrows drag more air, tune easier, again other than perhaps Blazers to my experience....but of course Blazers are more durable...but without hijacking the thread, he already made up his mind.
