I have a carbon boom which is amazing, but I like to carry a second boom for rigging a second sail or if my dad wants to borrow something. What is the best aluminum boom to get?

I have bought a few Unifibre bits recently which I have been impressed with, so I am looking at the Unifibre HD but the Neil Pride XFS one looks good. It would be a Wave 140 or 190.

Mate of mine actually got multiply hooked. He crossed a long way behind a boat cruising down the channel ,without seeing all the rigs set up on the back of the boat. luckily the hooks were small and only got stuck in his wetsuit. But he drifted closer to the boat as he tried to unhook. the guy still had the motors running and he thought he was going to get diced. After much yelling the motors were cut.
Not a nice experience!!!!! I hate crossing that channel now.
