Mallard decoys come in three sizes: life-size (standard), over-size (magnums), and super magnums. The biggest differences between these decoys is of course visibiliy, weight, and cost. While I would prefer to hunt with magnum sized decoys for the purpose of extra visibility their extra size and weight is best suited for hunting from a boat unless youth is on your side and you have a strong back.
With movement being a key element in any successful spread water keels still have their place on days with light winds. A water keel decoy will move in the slightest of breezes. Water keels are also the lightest option for walk-in hunters and offer the greatest degree of mobility. The disadvantages are that on windy days they bob unrealistically on the water and do not self-upright in the water when tossed. Two alternatives exist to hunt with the best floating mallard duck decoys for the situation at hand. Either purchase water and weighted keel decoys, or buy all floaters and convert the keels back and forth as needed. An easy way to convert water keels to weighted keels is to secure a 6 ounce stap weight with a zip tie in keel. Drill a hole through both sides of the keel that lines up with the hole in the weight.
Many years ago the first decoys were made from wood, then came along cork decoys. Both wood and cork hold paint very well, but both materials are very heavy and do not take very much abuse. Foam is another option introduced by Herter's but unless it is coated such as by burlapping it the bare foam is not very durable and doesn't hold paint very well. Plastic has become the mainstay material of modern duck decoys. Plastic is lightweight, holds paint well, is very durable, and in-expensive when compared to other materials. Higdon offers plastic decoys filled with foam to make them unsinkable. This extra foam does add weight. In summary for the majority of hunting situations I would recommend plastic mallard decoys.
TakeEm Tip: Typically early in the season mallard plumage will not be very colorful so more hens than drakes are recommended. But as the season progresses you can increase the visibility of your mallard decoy spread by setting out more drake mallard decoys.
