I prefer 00, 000/OM and 0000/mini-jumbo body styles. i.e., mid-sized guitars.

I am surprised by the absence of OMs per se. On the other hand, there are other sizes/shapes that are reasonably close (Orchestra Mpdel).

Given all the various manufacturers and all their variations on names and shapes, maybe it would have been more attractive to vote if there were more choices on the list.

I'm generally a dread guy. I don't really gravitate to smaller body guitars. Outside of the dreads, I have a couple GA's which I like and then a Furch Little Jane (don't know what it technically it is, other than a travel guitar) but it sounds big due to the sound port.
Play what you like and don't worry about it.

Another thing that can depend heavily on the luthier making the instrument and what you are looking for in terms of tone, volume and projection.
I love my deep body grand concert Wingert. It has robust bass, sweet, fat trebles and good projection. I also love the scaled down slope shoulder shape. More playable for me than a big dread and sounds great - full and balanced with a decent amount of projection. OMs are also wonderfully versatile and the H shape is also quite satisfying to play. Santa Cruz does quite well with both OMs and Hs. Best, Jayne
