OMS Slipstreams are very similar to Jetfins, but more or less neutral in the water. Both they and the DiveRites Lynn mentioned work well for the non-silting and precise positioning kicks.
My wife and I bought Aqualung Express full-foot fins for our tropical travel. The only negative would be length; quite long. Fit is great, foot pocket is comfortable and neither of us had blister/chafing from the heel area.
I also have Force Fin Pro's but I have yet to travel with them because I don't like traveling with the thick boots I normally use in cold water.
At some point I may invest in another set of Force Fins in a smaller size to use with a thin boot.

Anyone ever use open heel fins with a water shoe (like the Merrell WaterPro Manistee) to save weight? I was thinking about getting a pair to try with my Force Fin Pro's on my next vacation.
