Need 3 blade prop recommendation for F550

I have a stretched F550 with Avroto motors that's pretty heavy. I'm interested in testing some 10" or 11" 3 blade props on it. Any recommendations or things to look for when picking a 3 blade prop? Has anyone tested this already on a F550? If performance is good on 10" 3 blade props, I would even remove my arm extensions and mount the avroto's directly to the F550 arms

EDIT: I've found a few here http://www.gwsprops.com/3_blade_props.htm they have some 10x6x3's I'm not sure how well they would work on a multirotor though. For only 14 bucks I get 6 props shipped, I might give them a try. eCalc shows I will have more thrust with 10x6x3 vs my 11x4.7SF's.. Not sure how accurate that is

those props aren't very efficient and are horribly balanced. super flexible and flimsy. i tried them

I've used those. There weren't bad once I got them balanced, but that was a huge job. They are no where near balanced from the factory. If you want larger than 10 inch, the only thing I've seen in 3 blade is the wood xoar props and $100 / set.
