Santoku or Gyuto: which should you choose?

Which models are considered essential?
A main knife (chef or gyuto), a paring knife and a serrated bread knife cover most kitchen needs.
How do you properly sharpen a Japanese knife?
Whetstone sharpening is ideal: a medium grit for maintenance and a finer grit for finishing, adapting the choice to the steel and usage.
