I'm working on cutting a drop-in sink opening into a butcher block and I'm looking for a better jigsaw blade. Currently, I'm using Spyder blades which do okay, but my cuts tend to come out a bit off and I'm wondering if there's a thicker blade option that can help minimize any bowing during the cut. I understand that some imperfection is part of using a jigsaw, but any suggestions for a more robust blade that reduces deflection would be great. Cost isn't really an issue. Thanks!

I’d suggest starting with a circular saw to cut most of it out, then use the jigsaw for the corners. That's usually the best method!
For drop-in sinks, the lip usually covers any small cut imperfections, so don't stress too much about it being perfectly plumb. Using a straight-edge guide while cutting can help keep the blade on track.
