I have an 18" on my MS391 and a 14" on my 42cc Homelite. I only recently bought the Homelite, with the intent to use that lighter saw for trimming limbs. I almost bought a 20" when I purchased my Stihl, and I'm glad I didn't because I would have been stuffing it into the ground when sawing. Most stuff I get into is under 24", and averages less than 16"; so an 18 is more than adequate.
It boils down to intended use and feel in your hands...everyone is going to have a different opinion.
