Hard to beat a Zwickey for the money. I am sure there are others that are very good for about the same money.

Without hesitation, Zwickey. Tried and true.

Zwickey, Ace, Magnus...All great heads. Personally I would go with Magnus. I've had great success with them and they are very durable.

Mowoc.  (Inside joke).

I like the Magnus II and the Stos, but neither are really cheap.  I lucked into three dozen Magnus II when a bowhunter decided he needed Abowyer heads - decidedly not cheap - and he sold me six unopened packages for cheap.

I also have a small horde of RibTek heads (used to be 6/$13.95) but Australia stopped shipping them here.  Great heads.

The Del-Ma MA-2 isn't bad at 6/$17.  But you do get what you pay for.

They are all good really.  For the money, under 25 bucks for 6, like othes said, Zwickey and Ace.  They are tough, sharpen easily, fly true and have taken game all over the world.  I have used both with a slight preference for Ace.

Good Luck,

Bob.

Zwickey for me--hard to beat.

I can still get the ribteks at 12 for $20aus so I use them and tuskers both sharpen good and fly great

Zwickeys for 30+ years. Hard to beat at the price you pay.

Tuskers, Zwickies and Ace heads all remain excellent value priced buys.

Zwickey and Magnus.  My choice would be Magnus just because I can get them a bit sharper.

My preference for 2 blades though would  be Simmons, Silver Flame, or VPA Penetrator.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Great economical head for the hunter that consumes a lot of arrows per year. Don't be fooled by the cheap price , these are great heads .
