I chose 20mm because it's small enough to save space and money - but large enough that you can actually tell the figures apart at gaming distances.
Plus it's an ideal scale for either individual mounting or on group bases.
Liberation Minis makes just about everything you could want, and there are plenty of diecast vehicles around.

Its the pre-paints that make 20mm irresistable to me. Normally I'm a 15mm guy.

I do 1:72/20mm (partly as an excuse to buy the pre-painted vehicles...  )

Moving to 15mm for ease of painting and larger battlefields. Will soon have to part with all the 28mm stuff to allow for more 15mm.

28 for me. So many model options and plenty of vehicles for the small size skirmish level games I prefer

I use 15mm because you can find a lot of building with correct price.
But for Ambush Z, il will use 25mm

I have to add, after looking at vehicle and troop prices again, 15mm is once more looking quite nice.
