I am happy with my Flex-o-fold geared two blade folder. Gave up a Martec non
geared because I was tired of having to center the shaft every time. If you
have plenty of money, I would go with a three blade feathering prop, as I think
it has less drag than the folder, plus you would get more speed while motoring,
but I don't motor a lot, so geared folder is it.
After looking carefully, I chose the Flex because the machining and pins were
more precise than the others.

Sam,
How do you plan to use the prop? Racing, cruising, or a mix, do you expect to
motor a significant amount of time, and do you expect to motor into strong
headwinds and seas?
Budget?

My 26 currently has a 12" x 8" RH, 3 blade, fixed prop. 7/8" shaft. (2GM20F
- 13 1/2 hp)
It's getting to the stage where I should start looking for a folding or
feathering prop.
What do I need!
I've got room for up to about 14".
I'm on a mooring, so reverseing is not a big issue.
