Here's what I have.
I have a C&C 30. My prop is a 3 blade Michigan 12/6. That is a great prop for my particular boat. I can back off my marina dock in 25 kts of wind coming on the stern with a row of boats behind me. I back it up behind those boats turning and using them as a wind break. Cut the power, shift to forward and throttle up...the boat starts going right now and I have way-on and steering in seconds. We have a few boats in our marina also with the Atomic 4. They all have two blade props and wouldn't even try that because it's a pretty tight spot when the wind is on the boat
That 12/6. It's a good combination for that particular boat. Good results in reverse although she does have a wicked prt side kick and lots of power to stand on right now. She's also good in chop off shore and keeps moving without too much effort.
I don't know what RPM's I get with the prop but I'm at 6.2 kts on a calm day just a tad above 1/2 throttle.
