I definitely would recommend a BBD with short delay times as possible
for Karplus Strong synthesis - at least 2048, better 1024 or 512 steps.

You always can tune down a BBD, but never tune up above a certain rate.
The "distortions" on the signal handling when tuning down (with low
clock frequencies) are not _that_ relevant with Karplus-Strong
synthesis, because the sound itself is caused mostly by the shatter
effect of the feedback.
