Topic: New mainsail: fixed or loose foot?

I'm replacing my worn-out mainsail, which has a fixed foot -- the sail slides into a groove along the boom.
I'm considering going with a loose foot. I'm told it would provide more control of the shape of the sail.
Any recommendations?

I've got to make a decision on a new mainsail. I'm leaning toward going with a loose-foot. Has anyone had any problems with that style? Thanks in advance for any advice.
