I don't do a lot of hookup RVing (I do dry camping), but the pedestals I've seen mostly have one of each (15amp, 30amp, and 50amp). I believe I saw one with 2-15amp, 1-30amp, and 1-50amp.
I am not an electrician, nor do I have a lot of experience with RV electrical systems, so I will let others provide technical knowledge. I'm just looking at this from a "practical" and "as little expense required" to get what you need. Re-wiring for 50 amp could be a LOT of work as you'd have to upgrade all the wiring inside the RV (meaning you'd have to get into the walls). Adding a 30amp secondary would work, but you'd end up having to use an adapter to plug it into the 50amp or 15amp plug (since the 30amp would be used by your main power supply and you're likely only going to have one 30amp outlet).
