Hercules34 myself I couldn't tell a lot of difference between the Scalloped and the regular Safety Bar, but usually opt for Scalloped, for me.
    The suggestion above of a Hybrid plate might give you a good sampling of 2 versions.  Maybe depends on how you get along with Open Comb razors.

Hercules34  You may want to check out this video that describes the different safety bar configurations:

From least to most aggressive:
solid bar
scalloped
hybrid (combo of scalloped and open combed)
open comb

With build your own options, each of those plates can be ordered in M, H, or EH options.

I have plates in all these options but I tend to use the solid bar versions the most as there is less blade exposure. I tend to use Nacets the most in this razor, so it is very efficient.
I shave every other day.

I use the M or H solid bar plates in Ti for most of my shaves.
If I need more blade exposure, I will use the scalloped plates.
I am not a fan of the OC plate myself as it has too much blade exposure for me. I have the H OC plate in Ti and the Hybrid brass plate (which is type M).
