Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze strings - which guitar?

FloridaGull, My choice would be, the Grand Auditorium.
 They will be very bright untill they have had a day or two worth of playing, so don't give up on them to soon.

FloridaGull , I'm not going to pick one, but I can tell you about my EB AB experience.... I bought a 3 pack of the strings you're trying to decide on a couple of years ago. I was looking outside my usual d'Addario EJ16 box. I put them on my Maritime, a spruce & mahogany dread. With the first set I thought I had a new "go to" string for that guitar. They sounded great, a little bright over the initial few days as Derick mentioned. By the second set, I wasn't so sure. The life of the stings seemed short (I was only getting a month out of the EJ16s), and keeping the B string in tune was as much or more of a challenge - one of the reasons I strayed in the first place. That is likely not so much a string brand issue...? 
 I still have the third set in its package, waiting for another day......
 Perhaps that provides an additional data point to help with your decision

FloridaGull,

Maybe how you play, but I got a very good life span out of the EB strings, not as long as Elixir Strings, but better than most uncoated strings.

My vote would be for the 14-fret OM with solid mahogany top and back, and laminate mahogany sides.

Just my first thought, but I'm thinking if these strings are leaning toward the "tone neutral" side of things, then, together with the gauge, I think you'd most appreciate the sound they deliver and playability on the all hog guitar.

That's just the first thought that comes to me though when considering those guitar choices.

OK - so, at this point, we have 2 votes for the all-hog, and 2 votes for the cedar over mahogany...

Cool...
