Jeff has it right, try as many props as you can get your hands on because there isn't a magic prop that does everything well.
I have only run 1/4 mile with my viper and love the 26 yamaha so if I were to run 1000 feet a 24 is where I would go first but don't forget about the et or a cut chopper either. If you can find good used props you can usually try them and resell if they don't work out for you, I myself have a hard time selling props for some reason and have accumulated quite a few in the last couple years.
For a good all around prop I'm still looking. I like the acceleration and hole shot of the 27srx but I like the cruising speed and top end of the 30 steve smith offshore cut. This summer I will be looking for a 29srx just to try it out.
Good luck on your quest.
