Either one will work fine. I work with guys that diet right into contests using long acting test and they come in very dry. It's all about estrogen control and diet. If you maintain sodium levels at the same place every day and run enough AI, you'll be good with test e and not have to deal with the issues that can go along with prop. On the other hand, prop is just fine, if you prefer. It will build up less in your system and cause less potential water issues. With test e, starting at .5mg EOD and then possibly going to ED works for most. Some need to go as high as 1mg ED toward the end, in order to get stage dry condtioning. For a non-competitor, you don't need to be that dry to look great though! I use Geneza whenever I can. Their Test E and Prop have both worked very well for me and the oil breaks down easily in the muscle
