I use a 12" Tenryu Gold Medal in my Minimax SC4E for furniture work, both hardwood and sheet stock. I have two of them. VERY clean cuts both ripping and crosscutting, and will rip well up to about 5/4. I use the scoring blade with sheet goods and generally retract it for solid. I have two 12" Oshlun combo blades for utility work in the slider. I use a 10" Amana in the Powermatic 65 cabinet saw most of the time.
