Medium if you use a pick, lights if you use bare fingers.

My experience is that mediums simply suck the life out of my parlor when played with bare fingers.

I'd try both PB and 80/20.  I tend towards PB, but some rosewood guitars do better with 80/20 for me.  For a parlor, I'd say mediums though the light trebles of Bluegrass gauge balance out better for me.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have mediums on my P-01. I finger pick, so I am going to put some lights on to see the difference.
