Start with a 25/40, this will give you a 40mm flat spot 5mm forward of center for just a little forward lean. It has the "feel" performance wise of a 9' radius. On your size blades if you go with a larger flat, they'll start to feel like skis, especially for a foward like yourself. Granted some skaters like the larger flats, but starting with a 40mm should be fine and you can adjust from there. If you were strictly a foward at 30/40 would be good.
CAGS put a flat spot on your blade, so if you have a 272mm blade, the only change is putting the flat near the middle, the rest of your stock radius won't change. So if you get for example a 25/40, you'll have that 40mm flat in the middle and the bauer 9' on each side of that.
Hope that helps.
Considering a 30-40 CAG profile would be good for a forward with a size 272 holder and would give the feel of a 9ft radius.
What would be the suggestion for a size 288 holder to have the same feel?
Would it be the same 30-40 or more like a 35-45 to account for the longer steel?
