Yeah, I've only used skip-incr (DLE's containing CD .iso images :)

But I recall way back someone reporting they tried to use it in
a two configuation setup.  The configs used many of the same
files (logs, index, ...) with the primary difference they used
different tape devices, one with much larger capacity than the
other.  The smaller capacity drive config used skip-full and/or
incr-only.  I forget which they settled upon.  The other config
used the opposite.
