Which tuning for the MOST Dime-ness?

...I'm currently turning my Baby DFH into a fire breathing monster. It has a fixed bridge, and after I swap up these tuners I'll have a pretty stable lil guitar....and the BnB's going into should help as well.

Anyway, I know the Dime tunings are many and varied but I wonder if any of you have figured out what the 'majority' of his tunes are in. I'm thinking of tuning the Baby to the typical E flat -40 cents (or whatever it is, I have it written down somewhere), and then just droppng the low E to play stuff a bit easier.

I was thinking of putting it in D standard and going from there, but then the majority of my tabs will be a pain in the ass to read. But having the D Standard would be useful in a lot of situations, too. Playing "Floods" for instance...

...anyway, suggestions? Once I setup the Baby I don't want to touch it again, I want to leave the strings the same size, intonate it for that tuning and gauge, and be done with it.
