I have hunted with a few pure GSP's and EP's and they are fast brush busting winding fools. Could not put them on a track to save their life like someone else mentioned they would just run off with their nose up to wind something else. They had very good hot noses and had a lot of stamina and heat tolerance but not a lot of bottom as they are very different things. All of the ones I hunted with were on the rougher side and had to learn to bay and a couple didn't and were pretty bad bay busters. One of the ones that did learn was a hell of a dog and was very fast and if you had a spot with a good population of hogs she would find them.
I think it all depends on how you want to hunt. I could see how the bluetick crosses would be good if they mixed right I could also see how that cross go really wrong, when cross breeding like that it is a roll of the dice. Also with a cross like that with two very different types of dogs you would want to keep the whole litter so you can make sure that you keep the right one if it is born. Just some thoughts.
Good points but tour right i would b keeping the whole litter and keeping what would work n culling the bull crap
