"It depends", mostly on what kind of sound you are looking for. I've used the lowest four on one build where I was looking for a really deep sound, and the highest four on one I wanted to play like a tenor guitar / baritone uke. Next build I will likely use the middle four, a la Keith Richards.

On both of my existing four-stringers, I move back and forth between the "standard" tunings for them and various open tunings (better for slide, at least for me). At the moment, the "low" one is D-A-D-F#, while the high one is D-G-B-D.
