Set back, set back straight or extra set back....? What's the consensus?

First to vote Rhys and its the Xtra set back for me !
I have one on a TX200SR which I like and I'm having one fitted to a very special HW97 which you are well informed of currently in the custody of a very well know airgun tuner !

The straight for me - simple preference, I like a straight blade...

I don't have long fingers or big hands so I found the stretch to the trigger on my 77 to be an unnatural position.
As a result of this I bought the extra sat back trigger from Rowan Engineering and it fits me perfectly, my trigger finger now sits in a perfectly natural place.

[p.j.]

Rowan extra set back works well on a HW.

Don't decide because you 'like the look of'. Decide because of which fits you best and suits your purpose.

I preferred the straight blade on my target 77's. The curved blades, especially the extra set back ones, tend to have quite a curve to them and that limits the trigger finger to sitting in the middle of that curve. If you use a straight blade then it gives more options re vertical position for the trigger finger contact. You can also use the trigger finger on the straight blades very low if that position suits, and that gives the effect of a lighter release ( longer levers ).

this is one of the reasons I'm looking at the straight trigger.., I'm not keen on the idea of the trigger being so curved it is limiting my manipulation of it.
thanks for the input

Can we have a "depends on the stock design, especially the thickness and shape of the pistol grip (and your hand size and shape)", option? Because that is the correct answer. What works for you works for you.
