Is there a favorite broad head for deer hunting

That those of you on this board recommend? This will be my first season hunting with a bow. I shoot a Matthews Bow and will be hunting in wood where most shots will be around 20-30 yards.

Every broad head will kill deer - I would go with tried and true versus new to market broad heads personally. Killed deer and hogs with NAP thunderheads and NAP Spitfire. Buddy kills them regularly with Muzzy - any major brand that has been around awhile has lasted for a reason.
Real question for you is fixed blade or mechanical

I used to shoot a Thunderhead 100 grain from 93-08ish. I've shot Muzzy 100 since.
I have never shot a mechanical broadhead. I get the larger cutting diameter, but don't like moving parts on my arrow. I also don't shoot a whiskey biscuit, as I don't like the idea of my fletchings touch another component of the bow in flight.
Maybe I'm the crazy one. Who knows?

thunderhead 100 for over 30 years. no reason to change.

Grim Reaper 2" Whitetail Special- they ain't just whistling Dixie when they say "Watch'em drop". It's nice not have to blood trail a deer.

I'll second the reapers. If you're shooting 65+ of kenetic energy then use the whitetail specials 2". Even with the 1 3/8" I've had deer expire with blood trails that look like a scene from a scary movie. Haven't had one break or fail to open yet. They for sure have earned their spot in the quiver.

I shoot a rage classic 2 blade in hardwoods and a muzzy in pine thickets/cut overs.
The rage is incredibly destructive.

Grim reaper whitetail special 2". You won't have an easier blood trail after using these.

Another vote for Spitfire

Another vote for grim reapers. I shot G5 montecs for a few years but I didn't like the way they fly. They always had a little rise to them in flight. So I decided to try out the grim reapers and they fly exactly like field points and leave a ridiculous blood trail.

They are pretty much all solid, and shot placement is by far the most important thing. That being said, I have seen Ramcat broadheads devastate an elk scapula and penetrate to the fletching on a quarter to shot.
