I'd never heard of those Trident fins but poked around a bit and they look very high quality!! Poseidon is known for their cold water regulators, true?
Poseidon is known for making very high quality though sometimes quirky gear. Among other things, they make cold water regulators, but so do many other brands, Scubpro, Apeks, Aqualung, etc.
The style of fin that you reference in your initial post is, generally, used by tech and/or cold water divers who tend to wear drysuits and who tend to utilize more advanced finning techniques such as frog kicks, reverse strokes, helicopter turns, etc.
The shorter, stiffer blades are ideal for those techniques and having a somewhat negatively buoyant fin can be beneficial to balancing out a head-heavy doubles rig, especially when wearing a drysuit.
The OG of this style of fins is the Scubapro "Jet Fins" which are known for their stiffness and negative buoyancy characteristics.
It seems that most "tech" oriented brands make some version of a mostly rubber, short, stiff fin. Some are more negatively buoyant, some more neutral. Some are stiffer, some are softer. But they are generally similar in form and function.
On the other hand, most warm water divers prefer lighter, longer, and more flexible fins as they tend to be more efficient and easier on the leg muscles. That is not to say that tech fins are not perfectly fine to use in warm water as some divers just prefer them.
I myself have heavy rubber "tech" style fins (Hollis F1 "Bat Fins") which I use for cold-water tech diving, open heel rec fins (Mares Quattro) which I use for tropical shore diving, and full foot fins (Mares Volo Race) which I use for tropical boat diving. They key is to use the right tool for the right job.
If you are a new diver and are planning to start your diving career primarily in temperate or warm water, I would recommend for your first fins to start with an open heel rec style fin. These tend to be the most versatile because you wear them with booties that can be thicker or thinner based on the water temperature. They work for boat diving and shore diving and you would be surprised to learn that even many tech divers prefer these non-techy style of fins with the Mares Quattro (in its myriad incarnations) being the most ubiquitous serving double-duty as tec and rec fins. That being said, I would also check out the Scubapro Go Sport fins which are light and powerful.
In any event, good luck on your new adventure.
Cheers.
