I use VH for most all my bunker shots, but I am a VH addict. I would say AH or HH could be used for long bunker shots (especially out of shallow bunkers). I probably use AH when I take a gap wedge for 20+ yard greenside bunker shot.
Take my comments with a grain of salt, however, as I am not an expert player from the sand. Greenside sand play is one of the final pieces to place in the jigsaw puzzle that is my golf game.
My home course just put new bunkers in last year so my world has changed.My VH leaves a lot to be desired but I do spend most of my time working on it.

I think the condition of bunkers is far too often overlooked when folks discuss technique. Reading bunkers in order to execute a bunker shot to me is as important as reading a green before putting. If I perform the standard technique on most of the bunkers around this neck of the woods I will blade the ball a country mile (bunkers are hard as bricks with little sand). You will have to get used to your new bunkers and adapt your technique a little to them before your bunker play will get real good (IMHO as always).
Others might dispute my assertions. I would welcome the commentary because I struggle at times with these issues as well.
