Default 686 sights

My second gun...and second S&W... was a model 686 with 6 inch barrel. I bought that gun over 25 years ago but I remember it having a Patridge style front sight. I have seen 686's with red ramp sights, adjustable front sights and 2 different heights of the Patridge style sights.

Why were these guns made with a high and a low Patridge sight? I want to buy another 6" barrel gun and am trying to decide on which front sight.
