These rootstocks are suitable for soils with pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Outside this range it would be beneficial (though not essential) to adjust the pH.
In my experience SO4 performs well in acidic red sandstone at pH 5.2 and also in almost solid chalk at pH 8.3 (about 20% 'active' limestone).

Choosing a rootstock, for the variety you wish to grow, depends on your soil, on the training system / plant spacing, the strength of growth of the variety and its sensitivity in flowering, on how well it ripens its wood and its resistance to winter-frost, on the susceptibility to fungal diseases and the time of ripening. Some of the points for consideration are :-

1. A training system with 1000 vines per acre (which is wide planting by European standards) needs at least an average (Gravesac) or more vigorous rootstock (SO4, 5C).
2. Sensitive (weak) flowering varieties (Siegerrebe, Gewürztraminer etc) should not be on 5BB or 125AA.
3. Naturally very strong growing varieties (Huxelrebe, Regner, Auxerrois, Dornfelder) should be on a vigorous rootstock (SO4, 5C).
4. Weak-growing but strong flowering varieties (Seyval, Senator) benefit from a very vigorous rootstock (5BB) in order to produce sufficient leaf-wall for optimum flowering and ripening.
5. Müller-Thurgau, Huxelrebe, Reichensteiner, which have only moderate wood-ripening and poor winter-frost resistance, should not be on 5BB, particularly in more northerly districts. Faberrebe, Regner and Würzer should also not be on 5BB.

The main rootstocks now used in France are SO4, 3309, 161-49 and increasing in popularity are Fercal, Gravesac and 34EM. French vines are relatively close planted so they tend to use less vigorous rootstocks.
In Alsace the vinegrowers say that Fercal is 1 week later ripening than SO4 and up to 2 weeks later than 3309.
