I have 8 or 9 pairs of fins around the house. By far the most efficient are my splits. Particularly my Apollos. 2nd to them are the smoke on the water. When I say efficient, I mean the most thrust for the least effort. If I have a long swim, particularly against the current, they cannot be beat. The are faster for sustained speeds than anything but long freediver fins like the Cressi Garas. Bad joints, consider the splits.
Now the splits are not the fastest off the line. For that I would agree something like Mares Quatros. In a sustained swim, the splits win.
Now the Cressi's I think are probably faster than splits, but definitely more effort.
For the OP, I would consider Splits. The Apollos are the best. I prefer the Atomic Smokes only because of their positve buoyancy.
Edit: Also had a pair of Dacor Tiger hinged fins. Splits beat them too.
