First of all, don't use HIGH DENSITY - those disks are all LOW DENSITY, and high density will not read or write correctly. Secondly, use the C64 mode - that does the double stepping for the 5.25" disks. The 3.5" disk looks correct for a single-sided disk.
Now, having said all of this... you only need to do that for SAMDisk because apparently Simon doesn't look at the info about the disk. You should be able to use any of the modes really and generate a working real disk because the half tracks would be copied (and not used).
Ideally for you, if you are only dealing with 48TPI disks, you should look at getting a 48 TPI drive. The heads are quite a bit wider, which makes reading and writing much more reliable.
