Default Favorite neck radius?

I have found that I really like a 7.25" radius on my electrics. I'm not much of a lead player and I find this to be the most comfortable for me. I have a few Teles and a vintage reissue Strat with 7.25". My Rickenbacker 360/12c63 also has this radius.

My Tom Andersons have a compound radius, 12"-14". Most anything in that neighborhood is good for me.

I like Gibson's 12". Feels so comfortable. A compound radius 12-16" is also nice (I do a lot of soloing).

12" at a minimum. Flatter and/or compound is preferred
