Joel on B&B has extensively written about his honing experiments, IIRC he bought 12 identical DOVOs and started honing them on various mainly natural hones.
Kees,

I checked that out before. It is an excellent, objective post, and it answered a lot of questions that I have. But, as a sharpener, nothing compares to what I will learn by doing it myself. I also have the luxury of choosing between Shapton pros and glass, which is really what I want to know. How will each blade respond, and is there one better suited for this specific task?

Thanks!
