Hybrid lofts

[PIng]

I'm looking to replace a couple of hybrids in my bag but I'm confused by the lofts. My irons start at 28 degree 5i, so I'm looking for a 4H and 3H. Some manufacturers offer 24 degrees and 21 degrees for these, but others, such as Wilson go for 21 and 18 degrees. My question is :- will a 4H from different manufacturers perform roughly the same regardless of the loft, or do you ignore how they name the club and look only at the loft?

Firstly, don't worry about the number or even the lofts.
Worry about how far you hit them and do they plug the gap between your woods and your irons.
If your 5 iron is 28 degree then something in the 23/24 degree range should cover the 4 iron and something around 20/21 will cover the 3 iron.
Different manufacturers have different lofts at 3h and 4h so worry more about the gaps and how far you hit them.

Thanks lmurg, tried some demo clubs at the range at the weekend and it seems 21 and 24 degree fit the bill, although I'm not consistent enough to notice much difference to be honest.
