Personally I'd rather struggle up hills then spin out on the way down, but thats just me. I'd say 72" sounds good for cornwall. Its not so much hills, but stop/start city cycling that warrants a lower gear (IMHO).
I ride 48:16 and its rubbish in town, as I cant pull away from lights quickly or accelerate out of trouble. On open country roads, with rolling hills, its fanatastic though.
