What's your most used bandsaw blade width and TPI?

I am planning on getting a carbide tipped bandsaw blade, and I want one that can be used for as many cuts as possible, including curves. I'm curious what you have on your bandsaws most of the time, especially if you have only one bandsaw.  I was considering a Lenox tri-master, 3/8" width and 3 TPI.  I don't have a specific project in mind, but I do want to cut curves. I may invest in a separate resale blade later if this blade really struggles with that.

A 1/2" Woodslicer for resawing and what ever 3/8" or 1/4" blade they have at Woodcraft or Klingspor.  I used to avoid changing blades, but decided that was silly-I just needed to get comfortable changing the blade and then I could use the right blade for the job. I've been happier ever since.
