I would choose 38mm CTI. There is a good range of motor impulse, including plenty that are bigger than I’ve flown, so there is still a little bit of room to grow, but not much.
At high power launches, I fly high power rockets, and mostly don't fly midpower motors. But I also attend a good number of non-HPR launches. So I would want some mid-power options and 38mm CTI has some 1-grain G options. Although I’m sure those are not the most affordable G motors on the market.
Is this question only about the one set of hardware and reloads, and it allows the option to fly other kinds of single-use motors? Or is it saying you have to choose only one kind of motor the rest of your life? Because I could be pretty happy with 38mm CTI as long as I could also use Aerotech single-use and DMS motors in any diameter. Most low-power and mid-power motors I fly are single use, not reloads. And I’d like to know I could fly some of the big 54mm or larger DMS motors when I get to that point.
If the single-use motors of different diameters are off the table, then I would probably still opt for 38mm CTI, but I might consider opting for 29mm CTI instead, just to have the midpower options. I’d have to really think about that. I like flying a range of motors.
I like having a wide impulse range so much that if you asked me to choose between a single brand and diameter of reloads or an unlimited range of single-use, I would choose the unlimited single-use.
