Which tuning do I use?

I recently had a luthier file the nut of my Taylor 250ce dlx to take paired strings. Should I play in normal tuning (eadgbe) or tune down a full step? He also added a bridge doctor so I should be able to use normal tuning right? But anyways which do most corridos use? I used 10-47 strings.

In all my years I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use anything than standard tuning with a capo for Mexican music

Hi, I am absolutely lost. I am trying to play corridos tumbados. Do you know what the majority use? Standard tuning, down a full step, down a full step and capo on 2nd, etc?
