These are the hones I have: Escher, Norton 4k/8k, Norton 220grit/1k, C12k and a couple barber hones.

I've been using a marble tile and sandpaper to lap thus far. Every time I lap I make a mess out of the kitchen. I'd like to streamline the process.

From what I've read in the archives and the lapping howto on the wiki, I'm leaning toward purchasing the DMT8C - 325 grit. For everyday maintenance, will that work with all the hones I've listed? Is that the best choice for everyday maintenance or should I be looking at the DMT8XC - 220 grit? Can I hone right off of a 220 or 325 grit lap, with all of those hones, or do I need to get a higher grit DMT, 600 or 1000 grit as well?
Thanks,
