Props
We'll flesh this out more later.

MT
MT is the "standard" for the Velocity, at least for constant-velocity propellers. MT probably has 60% of the flying fleet, with most of the rest using fixed-pitch props of one sort or another. The MT is typically installed as a three-blade unit, though there are a couple of folks using 4 blades. You can also purchase hydraulic or electric actuation. The MT prop provides solid performance, but some have questioned it's durability.
Aero Composites
Aero Composites is the new kid on the block, and although they run a little more expensive than the MT, are purported to have much better durability, and perhaps somewhat improved performance. There are only a couple of flying examples on Velocitys, so hard comparisons are hard to make right now, but the folks who have them report being happy with the purchase.

Catto
Catto's propellers are the current leader in sales for the high-power fixed-pitched crowd (mostly XLs), and are all custom-made for the target aircraft. Catto is so popular that lead times can be a problem, but the quality is excellent, as is service after the sale.

Prince
I don't really know anything about Prince, so someone else will need to fill this in. I do know that Doug Holub ordered a 2-blade 68/78 Prince propeller. There was a 12 week backlog at the time. It's going to be mated to a 190 hp engine and a FG Velocity.
Performance
I don't really know anything about Performance, so someone else will need to fill this in.
Vesta
I don't really know anything about Vesta, so someone else (Bob Buls?) will need to fill this in.
