as you may know carbon fibre is less flexable than fibreglass material, so what happens when you use this carbon reed is it won,t open at lower rpms as far as the fibreglass type does, the carbon is really better for high end rpms. the fibreglass is a good allround reed. tripple stage f/ glass seem to be most popular.

Thumbs up

The triple stage black widow is popular because its good for high end and low end power. The black things are what restrict the air from coming through, if you notice one side is bigger than the other, so one side restricts more air than the other. It gives good performance gains

double
It would depend on how the bike will be ridden. If you are riding at a smaller track with tight turns and you need bottom end to get out of corners a softer reed is the go. If you ride on a longer, more open track where top end power is needed, a stiffer reed is the best.

Look, Just Get Some Single Stage Fibreglass Reeds since they are softer than ts and carbon which take more power to open up proply.
