Default best blades for resawing

I have a MM16 and bought a timberwolf 1" 3TPI blade for resawing.
I was not too impressed, blade acts dull when resawing 10-12" white oak.

Advice I got was to try a 2TPI blade or a blade from another company
(highland hardware) or go carbide.

I have just ordered the minmax MM16 bandsaw and bought it for the specific
reason of resawing wood for building guitars. I would appreciate some
experiential advise on the best blades to use for resawing. I have looked
at the articles out there and they mention timberwolf but others say stay
with a thin kerf blade like the wood slicer. (woodslicer not available in
the 145 inch length unless you know of source). Some articles say stay with
a good quality of carbon blade or the lenox bimetal.

The type of wood I will be resawing is from spruce tops to cocobolo and
murtelwood backs and sides.

thanks for the input.
