Please forgive my interloping, here, but my SHUGART and Siemens SD 8" drives
are spec'd for 6 ms step rate, and the double-headed types for 3 ms. It's
really best (mechanically) to step these babies as fast as they will go, and
it's quieter too.

Ah!
Shugart and Seimens drives, requiring 15ms.
More usual is 10ms.

Shouldn't you gentlemen be considering, instead of which format, at
what
kind of
DRIVE is involved?
Excellent point, as I have been using a Mitsubishi that I set at 6ms.
