Default Biniding Size??? Help this is my first binding ever

Hi, I am finally finishing my first quilt and I am to the point of putting the binding on, well cutting first. I am lost as to how big I should make it. I know people say it is your preference but I don't have one yet I hear 2.5" in a lot of tutorials I've watched but I have a small area that is about 1/4" that is showing the batting but I really really don't want to trim down anymore since it will make the top look "off."

Size of binding?
So if I go with a bit larger binding what would I change my seam allowance to?
With the 2.5" I hear a scant 1/4" but what about with a 3" binding would a bump up the seam allowance as well?

Thank in advanced. I appreciate any advice
