M_Boats: How 'bout spinakers?

Flew the 30 year old spinnaker on my M-17 over the weekend, it's a .5oz spinnaker, and it began to rip. I used the Sail Ripair tape, and patched it up, but I'll need to replace it fairly soon. I'd be interested in what the group thinks make a good spinnaker, and how they'd replace what I have. I'd really be interested in input from Hyde Sails representative here, and any other M-17 sailors with experience.
