For folk songs unaccompanied, Marine Bands are pretty standard as far as 10-hole diatonics are concerned. Soundwise they are ideal, nice and bright.
I see a lot of harp rack-and-guitar players use Special 20s, or more recently, Manjis.
If you play a lot of fast single notes in G or A though, a 10-hole can feel a bit sluggish on the low end. Solo-tuned tremolo diatonics respond much faster and louder. They are very bright, too bright for many players (and listeners!). It takes some work on one's embouchure to get a tolerable tone.
