Bending Dies

[class7s]

I am considering buying the JD2 Model 3 today or tomorrow. My question to all of knowledable people is this. In the selection of dies there are many differenet radius dies in the selection. They are

10-2044 M3B Round Tube Die Set - 1 1/2" (4.5-180) .095"
10-2046 M3B Round Tube Die Set - 1 1/2" (5.5-180) .083"
10-2048 M3B Round Tube Die Set - 1 1/2" (6.5-180) .058"
10-2050 M3B Round Tube Die Set - 1 1/2" (7.5-180) .058"

I willbe most working with mild steel at .095 and DOm as thick as .120, which one of the dies is most common used?


Thanks
