Thermodynamics and equilibrium constant



I just wanted to make sure how we can know whether it is $K_c$ (equilibrium constant of concentrations) or $K_p$ (equilibrium constant of pressures) which "comes out" of the equation, $\Delta G^o= -RT \ln(K)$.


Until now, I have always taken $K_c$ when the reaction was in a solution or $K_p$ if it was a gas. But as there is a difference between their values, I'd like to know exactly which one to take.
