Flo-torque hub--as good as rubber, or harmful to shaft?

[cheburashka]

My local marina carries only Flo-torque modular props with the hard plastic hub. I've been using a prop with a rubber sleeved hub, but the local lake is very rocky and I tore up the original prop. Now I"m wondering whether the Flo-torque is a good idea, since it doesn't have much give to it. Is it more likely to damage the lower unit if I bottom out?

Thanks
