Grizzly 185 Gr would get my vote at the draw weight

You want them to die by a two blade hole or a three blade hole? How good are you at sharpening? The VPAs are easier to sharpen for me really but learned how to really sharpen the cutthroats with a file this yr pretty easy too to super scary sharp. Cutthroats come to the burr stage too though so maybe that's a factor.
I used the old Grizzlies for yrs haven't handled the new versions but I mean they are Grizzlies! And they have improved them a bit? You can't go wrong.
You can't go wrong? Just depends on shooting and sharpening ability!

Abowyer, many years, many deers, and even more misses, still holding strong! Lost one after a shot but the other two are good. Bought Grizzlies also later due to price and they have been good also.

I have had good luck with all of those heads and others in my search for a favorite. My personal choice for you would be.... get those 185 Grizzlys and be done with it.
Don't look back, just learn how to mount them straight, how to sharpen them up well and how to put them in the spot they need to go.
Done....

One of the reasons I have been looking at the vpa 3 blade is because I have heard they are easy to sharpen, is it fool proof?

nope..but I find it a heck of a lot easier than holding a consistent angle by hand.
..3 blades are their own angle guide

Deer are fairly thin-skinned critters. Personally I prefer a 3 blade. Zradix made a very reasonable argument for using 3 blade heads also. 3 blade heads are a gimme to sharpen. Get`em sharp...not just so-so, but sharp! Pick the right shot opportunity and put`em where it counts and you'll have a great bloodtrail and soon be dragging dinner.

If you have a problem sharpening 2 blades or single bevels, get yourself a kme sharpener and problem solved. I can get 2 blades, single bevels, far sharper with it than I can a 3 blade.
