  I have a 4-blade MTV-14/190 prop on my Extra.  It is smooth, but every time
  you want to work on the engine there's a #$%@! blade in the way.  Plus it's
  33% more expensive to overhaul.
  
  Everything else being equal, I'd opt for the fewest number of blades that
  can absorb the engine power.  Probably 3 blades in the case of a pumped-up
  IO-550.
