It depends on what you want:
naca0012 quick but not too sudden stall
E474 Gentle stall
E 169, will hardly stall
Edit:
E 168 will stall nearly as well as the NACA 0012

Meloni-Racing...I use DesignFoil6. Try looking at the fully-semetrical Selig airfoils. They have nice drag buckets with a nice Cl curve. IMO.
