Default Chutes, which one?

It's time for a chute. Which one do you recommend and why?
My set-up does not have room for a launcher, guess I need a pilot chute.

I have a simpson Because it was free. It is very hard to pack by yourself.
I have heard the stroud is easier to pack and "hits" softer when deploying.

Stroud gets my vote as well. I'd go as big as you can too, not sure what the biggest one they make is, but that's what I would use..... just because if you actually need it to stop the car, it would be a better idea to have a little more then you need IMO. That might not be exactly right, if that's the case someone call me on it.

Not sure why you say there's no room, but my Stroud cannon's are awesome.
I'll never use a pilot again, and would rather let the cannon stick out a little.
