Way back whenI was in school I remember something along the lines that
"a stopped propeller generates drag equal to the area of the stopped
blades,
but a spinning propeller generates drag equal to the AREA OF THE DIAMETER of
the propeller arc."

This would be a vote for stopped propeller equals less drag.
