I, too, think it wise to agree with Genghis.

If you want range, you want an efficient prop, and the blade will look like an efficient wing, ie. elliptical plan form with nice low induced drag pointy tips. If you just want to get some lead sled off the runway as quickly as possible then you have big coarse slabby blades.
