The best thing anyone can do is consult with their PGA Professional. They will help standardize the gaps between your clubs for consistency top to bottom.
Higher handicap golfers should favor higher lofted clubs. For example, a 16°-18° fairway metal can be easier to get of the ground; hybrids will be more forgiving than long irons. Remember that your set does not have to match (brand), but you may find a 54° wedge closes the gap between your PW and your LW better. The key is how far you hit each one.
Testing clubs at your local golf shop with your professional is the best way to find the right set for your game.
