I've always based my key choice on what key the band said the next song was
in. :-) I too believe you should learn to play well in all keys.
And I too like the F harp...but I don't think I speak in that key, or at
least I hope I don't. I have so much fun playing shuffles in C (harp in F).

That's an interesting take. I've always based the key choice
on what key works best for my voice on a song. I mostly
choose a key where the highest note in the song is E or F
above middle C. Sometimes I'll go lower if I want a
different effect, e. g. "Hoochie Coochie Man" in E.
BTW, I like the F harp. Works great on Joe Turner tunes or
any other blues in C.
