But I can’t think of many makers who recommend them on small body guitars like a 00. My experience of putting mediums on guitars like that is that it can even be counter productive because you can end up with less bounce on the top and you end up with less sound not more.

Also you should look at the Avalons, as well as making the same Lowden designs (other than the saddle) that they made when they were the Lowden factory for ~15 years, they also now make other designs, including Americana-style, I have one and it's lovely and very different from the celtic Lowden sound.
I wasn't impressed personally with Atkins and Brook. Personal taste, etc. No insult intended.
You occasionally get Bourgeois and Goodall guitars for sale in the UK at stupidly cheap prices on ebay £2.3k to 2.6k), worth keeping an eye open.
In the end I *finally* picked up one that whispered ‘take me home’ in my ear..even on the second visit...a spruce topped dread with mahogany back and sides, nice chunky mahogany neck, ebony board, open backed Gotoh tuners. Made by...Takamine. An EF340S-TT. Has the low profile TLD pickup so no controls in the guitar, I’ll probably get a sound hole pickup eventually anyway.
I was surprised by this given how we all know Takamine are has-beens but I just really really liked it, so I bought it. If I was flush I’d have taken their mini maple jumbo too!
