Wait a minute, Jeff -
You're telling us that the South tends to be Right Wing, whereas New England tends to be Left Wing? Really!?

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
I like helical for sure, but right helical is best for me. I have very little clearance between my buss cable and string coming of the cable guard. A right helical moves the back of my feathers up and away from the cable and string wereas a left helical moves the back of the feathers down and towards the cable and string.....just something to consider if you have minimal clearance.

If you are going with vanes, I would suggest the straight offset. I you are using feathers, then either a right or left helical.
Putting a helical on vanes is not an easy task.

up here in the abyss..er..New England... Left wing is much easier to find at the shops..very few carry RW

I like RW - a little offset is usually fine
