Steve,
From my understanding, a feathering prop is better for motoring performance (especially in reverse compared to a folding), and will give you the best 'under sail' performance as well in terms of the least amount of drag. The compromise in this case is $$$, as feathering props tend to be expensive.
I know a guy on Sailing Anarchy, by the name of "RockHead"...he is a US dealer for a good feathering prop company. I think it is Flex-o-Fold.
