Which prop for xstar with 8.1L?

[Ole Miss Rebels]

Which of the three props listed below would be the best prop for an '08 XStar with L18 (450 hp) engine? The boat will have the Pro X (2500 lb)ballast system integrated. I will normally run just stock 1000 lb. ballast but will be able to fill up to a total of 3500 lbs. in ballast (and more when you include people and equipment). Please consider performance, fuel consuption and excessive engine wear as important factors. Thanks in advance and a happy, safe and prosperous new year to all you boating enthusiasts out there.

1) OJ 14.25 X 14.0

2) OJ 14.25 X 14.5

3) OJ 13.7 X17.5

That boat should have the 14.25 x 14 on it. Good prop. I would stick with that, but what do I know? :D
