That depends mostly on which game you are playing. For sporting clays or 5 stand an assortment of all of those would be appropriate. For skeet most use 8.5-9's, for trap 7.5-8.5's. 7.5's are generally the largest shot allowed on Trap or skeet ranges (for safety reasons).

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
