One of the reasons I am moving on to carbon shafts after shooting woodies for about 20 years is the availability of better quality heads. I hunt whitetails and pigs in the same weight range.
If you end up going with a 3-blade VPA, I would recommend the more streamlined ones. The two-blade VPAs are also nice, but I would stay away from the 150gr fat and short ones.
I am tempted to give the Day Six Evos 175gr a try. On the pricy side to see one disappear with a pig, but they work really well on deer.
From my experience several of the more budget-friendly heads have had fairly poor QC as of late.
The starting bevel on my last batch of Abowyer was very poorly ground and had to be reset. I also had one of those head curl on a bone hit and another shattered like glass on impact.
You will have to find what works best for your set up and budget.
