I'm a fan of the Taylor GC 12-fretters. Loads of different wood combinations and I've not yet found any sounds in any of them that are not usable. They are the least typically-Taylor-sounding guitars in Taylor's stable, which is funny considering I like them the best.
Given the choice and everything else being roughly equal I prefer the old X-braced ones to the V-class ones but it's also not absolutely night-and-day - if I were out shopping and I found a V-class that absolutely sung then I wouldn't hesitate.
