Question best 3 blade prop for DLE30 for aerobatics

I've got a 72 inch YAK54 with a 150 4stroke, that just leaves a lot to be desired on uplines. I just picked up a new DLE30 and hoping that switching to gas will get me the uumph I'm seeking. What's the best 3 blade prop for IMAC style flying? My secondary concern is noise.

Thanks in advance for comments/advice

Rule of thumb to go from a 2 blade to 3 is down an inch in length,up an inch in pitch. That should put you in the 17x8 range.
