i was also wandering the same. i do know that split fins are different from non-split ones. non-split ones have better acceleration properties and can be better at fine maneuvering. also they don't get tangled up in a line. split fins can propel you quite well. now, some fins are made of rubber and plastic and some just of rubber (apollo bio fins, scubapro), plastic may make fins more buoyant so i'd get rubber ones. i would be interested in what others will say.
