The one theme that kept popping up is "go Deutschland if you have great gunners."
If you are unable to keep your range or play from it, great gunners won't save you. You need to fill both conditions to go with it.

Definitely play with Heavy HE in blitz, and switch to LHE in GB.
The 1st set actually has a better accuracy revision on it. 2nd set hits harder at better range (C/34 Ds = about C28 Ls, if I remember well). For lower level I'd suggest sticking to C/28 Ls, to have the appreciable accuracy revision on them. You could choose the C/28 Ns for ammo if you keep running out.
Always use LHE/AP in your guns. Even in blitz. That ship plays at RANGE. Dropping to HHE makes you vulnerable to other CA using LHE.
