I use C4 Flap 25's mounted in Sporasub pockets. I'm 170cm tall and weigh 65 kilos. I normally use the C4's with a 3mm suit with 4 - 6 lbs of lead. Having tried stiffer fins like the Matrix #3 blades, Cressi Gara 2000 HD's, Omer BAT 30's, and Picasso Black Team's, I found that stiffer blades make me kick slower in order to kick with decent technique. Also, stiffer blades seems to cause my shoulders to rotate back and forth more on the ascent.
Both of these factors force me to try to control my kick and form and waste energy - mentally and physically. IMHO, I say go with the softest fins you can get away with.
