Anyone have expericence/knowledge of the 000-28? Is it ok w/ mediums?

Also, if not mediums, would "bluegrass" (12-16-25-35-45-56) be a good compromise for that guitar?

Thanks in advance.
I've used DR Sunbeams 13's on all my small bodies with no problem including the 000-28EC and 00042-MEC, and an 000C-Steve Miller and OMC-Aura. I do not like other brands of 13's on 000/OM's so I can't say but no problems with the Sunbeams.
