If you are actually getting 20* and 30* then I would say that hole is the one to use. You may never use the full throws, but then in panic mode it would be there......

I too try to get as much bell crank movement as I can. That means that some times the middle hole is too far from the pivot point. I had a Dolphin that the flaps/elevators were max 25 degrees and was too quick for me. Balance has a lot to do with it also.
