Default Bandsaw blades

What Tooth per Inch should I be getting? I just bought a used Dayton that takes an 85 1/2" blade but any blades this long have coarser TPI than what I've been getting for my 64 1/2" bandsaw. I've seen some 10/14TPI blade material, I think I used the 18TPI on my little saw.
What are you guys using?

I have a Carolina saw that uses a blade 115.5 inches long. I use 10/14 blades and they work fine for me. I use Lenox bi-metal.

Default Blades...

Try bandsawbladesdirect.com for made to order blades. I've had great service from them and they carry a huge variety of blade stock. There are other places out there that do custom blades too, but I haven't used any of them.

For Cold saw blades, I use Quinn Saw. I ordered a blade for a friend's cold saw and they actually had it in stock and lasered my name on it while I was still on the phone with the sales person. Had the tracking number in my email within about 5 minutes of hanging up the phone.
