Recommended Canvas Sizes

When ever it is time to pre-order canvases, I am absolutely "ban boozeld" (very confused) on what sizes to stock up. Currently, I have a little of everything and this made me wonder weather there is not a generally preferred size out there.

I have looked on-line at various artists work and the sizes used are as varied as the painting styles. With bulk ordering being more economical, it makes sense to acquire a better understanding what sizes are generally more suitable for the typical portrait given the listed dimensions. I was wondering if you would share your size preferences for the following:

a- head and shoulder
b- 1/2 figure
c-3/4 figure
d-full figure

Thanks!
