   Either works well enough.   
      
   D-28 is generally seen as a "rhythm" guitar, while I'll   
   guess some players prefer the 18 for leads.   
      
   Actually, what may be the more important decision is top   
   wood -- that being Adirondack spruce as preferable to Sitka.   
      
   Having written that, before you settled on any Martin, you   
   owe it to yourself to try a Bourgeois. I own numerous   
   Martins, and the Bourgeois "Country Boy Deluxe" beats them all!
