Quoted text begins.When I look in the Granquartz
catalog or on the web, I see blades as either recommended for hard
stones like granite, or not. I've never seen any discussion of
various matrices of intermediate hardness that might be more or less
suitable for certain types of stone. Do different manufacturers use
different matrices and you have to try and see how good they actually
are? Any more opinions out there?

I've been happy with New England Diamond products. A link to their catalog:
http://www.nedcorp.com/products/NED%20Catalog%202003%20paged%20final.pdf
On page 15 the list their standard wet stone blades. I use the NE-850 BE
blade. We use this blade on granite, bluestone, limestone, tennessee
crab orchard, and other misc stone types. The NE60 series works well on
virtually any marble, slates, onyx, and other softer fine grained stones.
