I recently switched from 1.25" to 1.5" and I've found the wider blades cut straighter and resist deflection better than the others. They also don't seem to break as often, although this may be a change in my setter technique. As for number of teeth, I believe 1" spacing is standard, so a 158" blade has 158 teeth:

Wood-Mizer LT28, LT35, LT40, LT50, HR120, HR130, HR300, HR500158"

Whereas I run a Wide head:

Wood-Mizer LT40 WIDE, LT50 WIDE 171"
