Here's a dreadnought vote! Maybe it's because when I was a lot younger that was what a guitar looked like - it was sort of the default shape in the 70's when I first started playing & hanging around guitar shops. And the sound suits my ears being mostly a strummer & flatpicker .

When you say deep-body DN's is the same as the DN and X10's series? Or is it entirely different?
the deep body DN shape was originally offered as a Fall 10 800 LTD, along with a
12 fret slot-head GA, so i believe the depth is main difference (5 1/8" vs 4 5/8" (IIRC)
it's not about what you play,
it's all about why you play ...

The GA without a doubt. My second choice would be the GS Mini size with all solid wood construction and a 1 3/4 nut width.  8)
