Adt it depends on the conditions(wave chop, current etc.), the quarry and how far you need to fish. I'll always try and fish with as light/slim a float as possible but if the fish are far out then I'll need to use a big enough float that can support enough weight for to reach that distance. Same again if conditions are quite choppy, you'll need something that doesn't get pulled under with every wave.

Generally I prefere slimmer floats but have seen the bubble floats used to good effect when fishing an eddystone for bass.
