60 inches deck blade choice

[richmondred01 2,311]

I need new blades for a 520 with a 60 inch deck. It currently has the Oem standard blades installed. Looking at the high lift, gator and standard blades. What do you run on your 60 inch decks? Pros/cons?

I ran a set of high lift blades on mine last year and the year before the oem. I was looking to buy the gator blades but the price was better on the high lift. I liked the cut and they left small clippings too.

I high lift ones I'm looking at have the half moon notch. Also I don't bag and I don't care if it mulches or not.

That is the blade I have. I do not bag either but like smaller clippings.
