OC6: Standard or Low Shoulder paddle?

What do you think? My uneducated thoughts say that the standard shape will pull more water and the low shoulder travel faster through the stroke. I sit #2. Coach is demanding all wood paddles (no artificial edges) for racing in the Koa canoe so I'm shopping. My hybrid paddle is a Xylo and I like the thick but light shaft. Any recommendations?
