twist rate, bore dimension???

In looking around the web, I have noticed that there are few offerings for in-expensive barrel blanks, and even fewer for the types of twist rates and bore dia that would be the choice of blanks for luger barrels.. What does the members think would be the best bore and twist for a 4" to 6" 9mm luger barrel of some quality?? 1:10 seems to be available, but I see many posts in other forums talking about 1:16 of even slower rates?? 1:8 or 1:9 doesn't seem to be around, at least not commonly found......Also, 1:10 by .308 seems to be the twist of choice for .30 loadings... What were the originals,?? Best to all, til...lat'r....GT
