Post Prop Strike

My plane is grounded due prop strike with 1500hrs total engine and airframe time. Oh god I'm depressed!!! This is five strikes and three new props in 11 years!! None of which I've been responsible for I hasten to add!!
Insurance job again...Lycoming recommend a complete strip down for internal inspection.
Would you:
a) Claim on insurance, go for strip down, new prop and put back extg unit;
b) Time to put a new engine in (Thank goodness we have an engine fund!);
c) Ignore Lycoming and just put a new prop on, + oil analysis every ten hours;
Answers on a postcard please!!!!!!!
