SR 3000 seems good choice to me, will fit one myself early next year.
Beautifully crafted piece of prop I bought.
3 blades save noise and vibration and there is always the nice 2/3 blade 
compare on required diameter.
With a monowheel you definately would like to have some ground clearance.
I suggest you also check the archives, loads of stuff on props...
