NC or Warp Drive?

We need to choose a prop.... NC or Warp? Engine is a 582, (we had a warp on there but she is now kaput

)
Need opinions from informed and exerienced AP's and pilots here.
The Basic's: NC is a better performer... but Warp is more durable/tougher. Considering that we often fly into gravel strips...which one should we go for. Cost is not an issue, I think the NC is about R1000 cheaper? Not much considering what we are about to spend...

Hi Alan,
All I can say is that I will never buy any other than the NC! Maybe you have read the post about the safety of loose objects and of the exhaust through the prop, well just look at that prop, that was not just on the ground, that prop flew for a half an hour and still got the craft back to the airfield without tearing up or even thinking of going through the wing!
I might be biased but local is lekka!
Hope you get some good advise here!

NC for sure - Performance is absolutely great
And I fly with Warp but only cause NC don't make props for 912 (that I know of)

NC is so good, some clown broke into our hangar at Circus a couple of years ago, and stole my brand new 1 hour old prop off my trike!

Hows that?

Only one prop, nc prop. Gravel really not a problem. Just dont use full power from take off point. Increase power slowly
and you will never experience any problems with dents or chips. Also fly from a gravel road with allot of stones and never had
a problem, just stick to above mentioned rule.

Hi all... I am a newby, and a novice: please will some explain an NC prop to me, or give me the manufacturers detail? This seem like a highly rated prop, can it be swung from a 912 as well as a 618? (two or three blade?)
Thank you, dankie!
