Seems to depend on the situation.  I like having options.  I've been 
enjoying Delta Frosts a lot for out-of-the box.  Customs from Moyer, 
Oysler, Meehan.  I'm sure others are fine, but I haven't tried.  I 
don't have a custom in E, so I find myself grabbing a DF, not based 
on careful analysis, but it seems to me that the potential harshness 
of an E is tempered a bit by the DF (reed material maybe? very 
subjective of course).  To my ear, LO's have a lot of volume, so I 
might grab one of those if I'm playing totally acoustically or around 
a single mike with a bunch of other players on fairly loud 
instruments like fiddle or resonator guitar (or piano -- as in the 
Augusta Ice House).  I haven't tried a Golden Melody in years -- 
maybe I should.  I have some "Vintage" Herings, but I don't pick them 
up too often -- maybe if I'm accompanying my friend Greg on Freight 
Train Boogie and I know I'll be palying a lot of chords.  I like 
having choices -- indulges my fantasies that they make a difference!
