I like the extra room for laying all my fabrics out ---- and my pattern, cutters, rulers, marking pens --- and my JUNK! The size should be determined by how much room you have!
And how much cutting and sewing room you need! Also, do you want to be able to fold it away? I use an old dining table that expands out but can be folded up to take up less space. It's sturdier than the sewing tables I've seen (altough I'm sure if I looked harder, I could find better ones) and since it was grandma's old dining table, I got it for the low, low, cost of FREE! But you may be able to find an old dining table for less $$$ than a similar quality sewing table.
