Kinda of depends on what scale you want to work with. I like 1:700 scale for modern ships (sub and surface). The 1:144 scale is nice for diesel boats like the Revell U-Boat kits. The 1:700 is nice for just starting out stuff, the 1st kits I built when I took up the hobby again were the 1:700 Kilo and Akula.

I would say the 1:700 is a nice desk model size
the 1:350, and 1:144 is more of a shelf item
the 1:72 is something you live in.
