I have only ever bought H3N from uk.
they never state the sponge hardness, im not even sure which thickness and hardness I have been using.

having recently discovered prince of tt (thanks Andy Smith) I see you can buy 39, 40 or 41 degrees at 2.15 or 2.2mm

what would the relevant differences be, I guess the differences are like eg aurus sound and soft.

I would choose definitely 2.15mm and 39hardness(harder would be ok). 2.2mm less control ,bit more speed bit more spin on certain shots(2.15mm 39deg has plenty of both).Also you have a better feeling for the ball with 2.15mm then 2.2mm.
 39deg would need less booster to become bit softer (and friendly to engage the sponge)then the harder options. 2.15mm and 39deg should also be the lightest option.

I see soft of degrees: 39 > 40 > 41
If we used H3 for BH would choose 39/2.15 (i using a H3 37/2.15)

Do you intend to boost your H3N?

If you are playing in official ITTF tournament, you may want to go for 2.15mm as there is a possibility that 2.2mm may fail the racket control.

2.15 has better feeling and is equal in all other regards compared to 2.2mm and gives more room for boosting.

40 degrees is a better place to start.  If you have a full proper brush stroke, the harder sponge has a higher throw which works better with a brush stroke.  The whole point of using H3 is for the harder sponge and the brilliant spin.   If you want to use a softer sponge, there are plenty of Euro/Japanese rubber options available for the compact swing stroke.  

If you are boosting, the best boosters facilitate H3's qualities; i.e.  increasing spin and speed while maintaining sponge hardness and crispness.  The worst boosters make the sponge soft and dead and lower the throw.  If that's the intent, then you're better off with a softer Euro/Japanese rubber.

No not for boosting!
