One that you like the feel of and can afford. Duh.

Recently, I've had good luck with the StM gold blades. I know the color means nothing, but the batches I've gotten in gold are lighter and stiffer than the blue ones I've looked at. Anyway, they are probably the best for the money. They are really durable and they feel very similar to the BF, but cost a lot less.

You should buy mine. They're only $400 and I promise they're better than the superficially similar ones being sold by everyone else. Would you prefer my house brand to be LP or BF?

If you can, get to a decent sized tournament and go around to the vendors checking out blades. Or, find someone with a wide variety of blades and see which ones you like. Everyone has different preferences on a matter like this, so its important to get a feel for what you want. If you can say what you want in a blade, its likely you can get more help here.

Carlos,

The one that feels good/right to you and that you can afford.

My answer sounds sarcastic, but understand that if I tell you BF blades are the best, you will get 10 others that will tell you LP's are the best.

Picking blades are kind of like picking shoes. Some really fit, and some kind of fit. Find a blade that really fits you.
