Which mixes for trimix are better for 330 feet (100 meters)?

I think three mixes 14/50, 30/30 and 50, is it a good idea, if the limit of ppO2 is 1.6 for the MOD?
 
It depends on whether you are willing to use travel mixes and what your other requirements are.

Your back gas is too rich and you are missing the 100% bottle.

So the short answer, would be no, its not a good idea.

Why would he need a travel mix?

If I have a choice between 50% and 100%, I think 50%, because the time of stop decompression is shorter with 50% than 100%. If the time is shorter with 50%, is the decompression better?

Why don't you post your dive plan for this dive?
 
If I have a choice between 50% and 100%...

If you have a choice between 50 and 100, can you not bring both?
 
This is pretty simple really,

What is your exact max depth?
How long do you want to stay down at depth?
What is your SAC and RMV?
How many divers on your team?
How much backgas are you using?
What is down there that you must get to?
How many divers on your surface support team?
What PO2 do you normally dive at and why?
What is your contingency depth deco plan?
What is your contingency Time deco plan?
What temperature is the water you are diving in?
What is the current's speed if any?
What do you want your END to be for your mix?
Are you going deep enough to require a Hypoxic mix?
What are you bringing as a travel gas (if needed)?
How much travel gas will you need for yourself and buddy (contingency)?
Based on your gas choices, how do you plan on minimizing ICD?
Why can't you figure out "Best mix" on your own?
Who is mixing your gas?
Who was your instructor (if any)?
How many Trimix dives do you have?


Answer all these questions for me in detail, and I'll help you out.

Safe diving
