Default thin kerf or reg keft ts blades?

I have a Forrest WWII thin kerf.

Love it. If I had a 3hp or more cabinet saw instead of the contractor
saw I would go with the 1/8 blade.

I don't think of it as saving wood, but allowing me to cut the wood with
less power, and more easily. With the large stabilizer on it doesn't
vibrate , at least that I can tell. With it off, it may, I don't see a
difference in the cut.

As always you mileage may vary.

The argument for TK was less wood, less dust, thicker wood capacity

My thoughts is TK is also going to wobble more, cut rougher.
