I use 'em both too...like Shuggie said...the high E-D drop works for some slide...you have a little open G on the top four strings...also works for those Stonesy I-IV things...or a kind of folksy add9 to a straight C chord...or a B7 on top of an F chord shape...for bluesy stuff...think "Little Red Rooster"

The low E-D drop works for a quick dropped D..I used to play with a bass player who wrote her own songs alot...shuffles in D...andI used the drop D alot

I read some where some players set their high E for an E-F# raise...Im not sure how that would work...

Clarence had his on the fifth string for a while...for A-G drop or A-B raise I presume...
