For me, 13" has always been the best size choice.

Seems I'm the only one here who likes a 15'' hat. Oh well. I like the bigger "chick."

 Nice one.
I use 13" hats. It's what my cymbal package came with.

I use 13 inch hi hats, but I'd like to get a pair of 15 inch hi hats down the road as well.

I used 14" hats for about 15 years. It took a while to get used to that "missing" inch of the 13" hats. I don't think I'd use 12" hats for anything other than effects.
