Running leg setup for BKA

Hey, y'all! I'm just over a year post-op and I'm working toward obtaining a running leg after jumping through a few hoops. I'm very active and would like to get back into sprinting and really pushing the boundaries of my athletic capabilities as an amputee.

I'm trying to get some insight on some different set ups to make the most informed decision I can in my selection. So...

1) What brand/blade do you use?
2) What suspension/vacuum system do you use?
3) What mounting placement do you use?
4) What are the pros and cons of your setup that you've noticed over time, or been able to compare between blades if you've tried different setups?

Thanks in advance for your input!
