Paddle Recommendations

Hi all! I am pleased to report that my swim yardage and stamina has increased drastically since I last logged on here, and I even shaved off :44 of my 300 yard time during time trials for sprint triathlon. I'm looking for recommendations on training paddles. I have suffered from two rotator cuff inflammation injuries in the past year alone without paddles, and while I have been fortunate to avoid a third, I could feel that inevitable tug while working with Speedo's flat, square training paddles. I like training paddles in some of my workouts because they really work my arms and shoulders, but I'm looking for some with less of a flat edge that won't irritate my shoulder beyond some mild workout discomfort. Any recommendations (I know the jury is up in the air whether training paddles are really good for swimmers of any sort, but I'd like to keep my options open)? Thanks! :)
