I’m running a track 10k and I am curious to any opinions on dragonfly vs. Vaporfly. I don’t care that vaporfly’s are banned because I will be running around 3:00 per kilometer

personal preference, a 10k in dragonflys will leave you wrecked for several days though. Vaporflies will leave you fresher but if this is a conference meet where you are contending for every spot possible, Id opt for spikes. If you want to hop back to training faster go for the vaporflies
Do you care more about time or place? If time, then I’d recommend the Vaporfly - if the track is “tuned” so they get an even larger effect, the pace will be very comfortable and should be easy to maintain. If you care more about place, any modern spike is bad for kicking, but road shoes are worse. A spike like the Dragonfly will leave you a little “fresher” (and likely overall a little faster), but you can’t get as much force while kicking due to all of the foam.
