Still, every center has different lanes, different oil, and the lanes can break down completely different depending on who's playing them and what they're using.  Take a variety of coverstocks and surfaces and try as many things as you have time for before scoring starts.  In general, I like a bit of surface when playing on these patterns.  Not 400-600 or anything dull necessarily, but 1000-2000 with no polish has been good for me.
