Definitely Tru-Turn.  And APC.
 
I'm sure a couple on this list remember when Bob Obenberger (Mr. Tru-Turn) showed up at the NATs one year with a station wagon filled with sample spinners.  He was shocked when they were all gone within days - we were shocked such a nice product existed!!!  The bulk of the Tru-Turn line was developed to fill the needs of competition modelers.  Great stuff.
 
And, a similar story for APC.  Back in about 1988, all the NSRCA District VPs recieved (unsolicited) a box of propeller from the then unknown APC.  A simple note was inside to the effect of - "please test all the propellers you can use, find others to test what you can't use, and let us know do like, don't like, and what else we should be making."  I was even more surprised when I called APC with some ideas and found out I was talking with the owner who was also a modeler (and still a very competitive pylon racer).
 
And companies like Central, Radio South, Aeroslave, PAC, ES Designs, and Gator (to name a few) have developed products specifically for the pattern market.

Tru-Turn !!
They were happy to swap several prop nut adaptor kits to find
a fit for a difficult spinner/prop combination.
