In my experience, the right weight of the rebound spring, is somewhat driven by the smoothness of the action I'm starting with.
Consequently, I'll go with 14-15# springs if they are just to be dumped in with no other work. I'll go with a 12-13# when I polish the internals as the spring is installed.
I almost never lighten the hammer spring on a defensive revolver.
