Default 12" Disc Sander reccomendations

Your indulgence please.
For folks with these machines:
I have been wanting a 12" disc sander for years and having just used
one a bit got
me on the hunt now.
I have almost all the makings for one. 12" disc, 1 HP 1725 RPM motor,
tilt table, etc.
Looking at catalog pics shows me various basic designs.
What I need to know to make or chose a kick ass model:
-What RPM is best?
-What should the table height be relative to the disc center?
-Any other subtle niceties?

Thanks & all the best,
RichD, Atlanta
