Often times when I'm out playing I'll have my playing partners ask me what iron I hit in to a green. I'm sure you've probably asked or experienced this too.
I just want to remind you that when this happens, to not take it to heart too much when you hear what iron the person used. The reason is that you never know what the loft of the club might be. For example, Ernie Els says that he currently uses a 45 degree Callaway Tour Authentic X Prototype Pitching Wedge (PW), the PW that I use from 1iron Golf is 47 degrees, and the PW that is offered by Maruman Golf is 42 degrees.
You can bet that the Maruman wedge probably goes the farthest. However, if you were to bend each of the three clubs to the same loft, they probably would all go about the same distance (since loft is the primary determinant of how far the ball goes). This would hold true for nearly all manufacturers irons.
