What type of baguette works best for sandwiches to avoid a messy eating experience?

A slightly softer baguette or a 'demi-baguette' is often better for sandwiches than an extremely crusty traditional baguette, which can tear the roof of your mouth. Many boulangeries offer a 'baguette sandwich' or 'tradition' that balances crustiness with a softer interior.
