They are all good. I would go with the one that you have the most confidence in and sharpens the easiest.

All are good if razorsharp and put in the right place. Grizzlys probable the most durable of the three but magnus sharpens easily and is strong don't have any exp. With stos.

The one you sharpen best, and flies the straightest for YOU

The best broadhead in the world is not worth a plug nickel if you can't sharpen it or you can't get good flight shooting it.Of the 3 you asked about I would prefer the Stos.Strong and very easy to sharpen with most any method and if your bow is half tuned it will fly. jmo

I don't think there is a best. Try them all and make up your own mind. I do like the very small bleeders on my Magnus Stingers though to open a nasty blood loss channel instead of a two blade slit.

As stated sharpness and great flight is the key and any head today can deliver that if tuned properly for your setup.

I like Razorcaps.  Same blades but different furrels from 100 to 200 grain.  Can be a pain to sharpen, but it is possible.

Whatever you choose, make sure your setup is tuned with that broadhead. I practice all summer with my broadheads so I'm sure they fly good. Nothing else is as important to penetration. Gary

I killed my deer with a Magnus II 125 gr. on the end of a home made ash arrow shot from my 45# bow. I've never shot grizzly or stos, but I know magnus will do the trick.

(http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss115/earljeff/mainebearhunt2009018.jpg)  They will all work if their sharp and fly well. here the hole a snuffer left in a bear last week, he went 30 yards.

That is of course a rhetorical question.  The answer is the one that slips into the ribs...through the lungs, and exits the other side.  It must be sharp and flying perfectly.
