Propeller Advice for Formula 280SS

I'm hoping to get some advice on propeller recommendations for my Formula 280SS with twin 5.7s.

I'm looking for the best props to get good performance at a high cruise, somewhere in the 3,600-4,000 RPM range, for long trips.
Mercury's website recommends the Enertia, Enertia Eco, and Revolution 4, but I was wondering if anyone here has actually tried these on this specific boat and engine setup.

Any real world experience or input would be a huge help! Thanks!
 
The standard Enertia is a bit more aggressive regarding faster acceleration but slightly higher cruise RPM. Haven't tried the Revolution 4 myself, but reports have it for it's solid for top end speed, just not as smooth for long range cruising.
