I tend to use the same ball for EVERY round regardless of the conditions, however, in theory - a hard, low spin ball should work best - for two reasons...
1) The wind will exacerbate any spin that is put on the ball, therefore any side spin will result in a big hook or slice, and any backspin will send the ball up up and away,
2) The trick with links golf is to keep it low and "run it in" to the green, therefore a high spin "drop and stop" ball would be useless for this kind of play.
Just my 2p worth...

BTW - I've just realised that I've described a Dunlop DDH!!! lol
