Honestly, the ideal size is what everyone in the league enjoys the most. As they say, if it ain't broke...

I guess I favor the standard 14 H, 9 P setup. In deeper leagues, I like using only 4 OF and making the spot UT/P, but not every commissioner service can handle that.

If it's a new league, I don't think there is a single best.
