Default Best wood prop for 3W 70

What would be the best wood prop to run on a 3W 70?
It is going on a 30% carden cap that weighs just over 20lbs.

I have an older zinger 24x10 on it now and would just like to get something better on there.

Should I stick with 24x10 or go with 24x8?

Also, where are some good places to order props from? I've been searching some and have not been able to find much.

any help is appreciated!!

I ran a 24x10 menz and mejzlik on mine, liked both those props, mine was on a 22lb Lanier Edge. Menz wood props are about as good as they come, as well as bolly wood, an NX props. Here are a few places to get big props.

Of course, all those props may be out dated with the new Vess props coming out.

A Vess 24 would be a great choice, but they are not available right now, and may be a while, however when they are available they should be at the top of the list.

Thanks for the info.
I ended up driving across town to a shop and they had a Menz 24x10, so I picked that up.
