The different switches are classified as such -
blue - tactile feedback and makes clicking noises.
brown - tactile feedback - no click.
red - light, linear (meaning no tactile feedback to your fingers)
black - heavier reds.
These are the four common switches that are available in most production boards at the moment. The other more exotic switches (clears, whites, greens, greys) are a little more complicated to explain, so ignore them for a first board.
You'll have to ask yourself a few questions -
namely, does the clicking noise annoy you? if yes, eliminate blues. If you like it, then blues it is.
if blues are eliminated, then move on to browns - do you want tactile feedback to your fingers after a key is actuated - the point where the keypress is registered - keep in mind that this occurs about 2mm of key travel downwards - while bottoming out (hitting the key all the way) involves about 4mm of travel. If you're able to feel for that tactile bump, you would be able to type without bottoming out your keys much, which I imagine isn't going to be too hard for a piano player.
The reds and blacks are simply linear switches - they actuate at the same point as browns, but they don't give any tactile response like browns and blues does. Some love it, some don't.
Keep in mind that even though you may have super strong fingers, it is still possible to like the lighter switches if you have a light touch. bottoming out every keystroke actually doesn't really play much of a part on whether you would like a particular switch, unless you're looking to correct that.
Personally, I'll go for either browns or blues if you type alot, depending on the preference for audible feedback. But remember no one can actually tell you what switch you should get as it's largely personal preference.
