Default Folding or feathering propleller, practical experience?

Dear all

We are changing our propeller to our 32 ft sailing boat and wondering
weather to choose folding or feathering propeller? What kind of
practical experience do you have from these feathering ones and what
are the benefits and disbenefits comparing to folding ones?

For us folding propellers are more familiar, but after seeking
information from web, we decide to check this feathering option too.

Do you have also some "good recommendations" for appropriate propeller
(now we have thought Volvo, Gori or Kiwiprop).

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
