I hear that you gotta go with a lower pitch, and a lot of people rave about the 10 X 6. Have not had 1st hand experience with a 10 X 6 (can say that the APC 10 X 7e is good) and right now I have an APC 10 X 4.7 I'm anxious to try. Sorry these aren't brands that Hobbycity carries but I hope they help.

That prop will work OK with NiMh (little weak) and OK with lipo (little strong). If you plan to fly by time and are careful you can leave the RX in NiMh mode and not pull the jumper. If you forget, fly too long, you ruin your lipo.
If you don't want to risk that you will find it some trouble always putting the jumper in and out.
HC also sells GWS Props. Their thin electric props that look like APC are cheap, have a rough finish, and TERRIBLE balance. They will not work well without a LOT of balancing.
The SF (black, fat) props are even worse and not appropriate for lipo.
You are going to find once you go lipo you will not go back to NiMh.

I fly GWS 10x6 and find them fine for my requirements. GWS are a little more flexible than APC so are less likely to break during a less than perfect landing.
