There are some 5's and 3A's in the classifieds. I think you'd want 3A's not 3's for what it's worth. But with your set up, 5's could work with the shorter lower.

why not go stronger if I can? Plus most of the props I end up with are 26 spline I'm not a fan of using adaptors full time

nope it's all different, you can put a prop shaft into a 3, one of the upper gears fits but that don't help much lol
