The flattened 5th and dominate 7th make it a blues scale. You can play both the flattened 3rd and the 3rd in a standard blues. But the major 3rd will sound like a train wreck in a minor blues progression. As far as I know there is no natural or harmonic blues.

What is the most popular blues scale?( Blues:Natural,Harmonic,or melodic).What are the steps for the Blues Natural Scale?What are the notes of a Blues Natural Scale? I listed the two blues scales above, the other names you mention are either nonexistent or irrelevant to blues.

This is my simple system (using C as example):
For C Minor I'll use C, Eb, F, Gb, G, Bb, C.
For C Major I'll either use the above, or the corresponding blues scale for A Minor (that is, A, C, D, Eb, E, G, A).
