Man, I’m a loser.

You guys have a different pair shoes for every dance.

I dive some scuffed up Dive Rite XTs with my homely backmount twinset in a wetsuit.

I want to get a pair of the D6G Eddy fins because they’re super light but just as stiff as my XTs (maybe slightly stiffer). I’m a fan of stiff fins and I must be lucky in that I don’t cramp that way.

The DR XT fins felt way stiffer, to me, than the Deep6 Eddy fins.
 
Anyone use apeks RK3 HD fins?
Yep. A good, stiff, precise fin, although I still prefer the F1 when diving dry due to the weight.
 
I love my Force Fins, but also dive with Dive Rite XT's (my cave instructor said no FF's for cave), some BatFins, and occasionally HOG fins.
 
I used F1s for two dives and then RK3HD after. The F1s were heavier, more flexible but had a ton of power. The RK3HD were more precise and made back kicks easier. To each their own. I found the RK3HD were just enough weight with a drysuit that I stuck with them.
 
I had to give up my Quattro fins when I switched to steel doubles, not enough oomph.
There are a few different models of Quattro. I've had no issues in the past pushing 104's with a couple deco bottles or kicking into Florida flow.
I know the Super Channels are weak sauce.
