Honing

[BPalv]

Hello all,
New to the forum and wanted to ask a question. 
Currently sharpening with a 10" Wen and a Rikon 1x30 belt sander.  I test all my sharpened knives on a Bess tester and really try to focus on a precise refined apex.
I am purchasing a T8 in the next week or so and am hoping to get some input from you to avoid costly setup mistakes. 
I would like to continue to put out knives testing under 100 on the BESS tester and was wondering if the composite honing wheel is the best way to achieve a refined apex or if I should stay with the leather wheel?  Secondly, does anyone use multiple wheels with different honing compounds?  If so, what does that look like?
The main reason I ask is that supersteels would need diamond paste to hone properly.  Or, does it not matter?

The composite wheel is coarser than most honing compounds. It is good for general purpose kitchen knives since it leaves some tooth behind which is better for general kitchen work. If a low BESS score is your aim then stick to leather

Secondly, does anyone use multiple wheels with different honing compounds?

Many people do but IMHO you are better off going to flat hand stropping to refine the edge such as used by iSharpen - Bazz.

There are harder honing compounds that work with hard steels such as HSS. Diamond is a good, but not the only option.
