Kelly,
I have a 3-blade Warp Drive that I occasionally run. It is smoother than the 2-blade wood props, and I have the pitch set so that it gives a slightly higher static. The T/O & climb performance is very good, with a slight loss at the top end of the airspeed range.
I don't run it all the time because it looks embarrassingly like an ultralight prop, and the spinner is 1" too small. Other than that, it is my best prop!

Kelly,
I have a 3 high performance blades Warp Drive prop, 72" dia on my Lycoming O-320 E2D 150 HP. Works great, good performance and is a solid performer in my case.
You want one blade per 50HP or fraction there of. Nice to adjust and maintain.
