Hi Jesse, Helical fletch looks cooler and will stabile the arrow marginally faster due to more drag.
A solid 2 blade broadhead is most suitable and usable on all game where a multi blade head will affect penetration on larger game species so why not just start and continue with a 2 blade head.
We have some Australian manufacturers that produce good heads, Tusker, Outback, Blackstump and Ribtec. All are good and will bring down the game you are after. Steve

Same as what Steve said. Good hunting!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.
