Location: Ohio | As far as the soudhole/volume numbers. Take a look at the Martin that Tony Rice plays. Clarence White used to put his cigarettes out on the edge of the sounshoe, and over time opened up the size and that git is a legend.....(no pun intended)
How about 2 well placeed old style f holes...

Steve That's what I thought might look nice, something Eddie Lang would pick up. Gosh I relly am dating myself.

Location: big island | i like option D but place the single oval on the bass side and make it slightly larger than the three others that should be on the treble side. |

Then add some fretboard inlays like this guy did here :

Location: Seymour, Tennessee | I kinda like the long ovals but what FlySig was saying would be cool too; Elite-style holes where the round hole would normally go.
Even further if I was doing it, two sets of Bass-side epi holes, big holes facing one in, little holes to the outside.
I can't figure out how to post a drawing of what I'm thinking but do you "see" what I'm getting at?
Anyway, just my two cents.
Tell you what, I'll get you to make me a top and.......
