3B vs. 4B prop

Can anyone tell me where to find basic info on props that would tell the advantages and disadvantages of 3 blade vs. 4 blade, larger vs smaller, and more pitch vs less pitch?

I think I may be buying a pair in the near future, and I would like to have a clue.

If your running the kaama surface drives ,YOu should have 4 blades . The cleaver stlye props don't have a lot of blade surface and the fact that the blades run half in the water and half out realy limits the bite the prpos can get . Most guys with surface drives and real big power use 5 blades .

The four blades are expensive enough... Please don't tell me I should consider FIVE blades!
