Can someone help me choose the type of blade? Not looking for brands.

All that I cut is 0.375" and 0.250" rectangle tube and plate. I understand the 3-4 teeth in the material rule of thumb. What has me confused is the styles of blade such as raker or wavy and also tooth profiles such as hook, skip or variable.

I mostly cut horizontal but once in a blue moon run it vertical.
Given the material, what would be the ideal style of blade?
