Depends on your style of skating. If you are tech than obviously you want lighter and skinnier deck. If you are skating vert than anything other than a wider deck is suicide. If you are skating stairs/ledges/rails you'll want something inbetween.

i've used different sized decks, but it never affects my tricks. it's just feels better to me with decks that size.

smaller decks spin faster... i had a really skinny element deck and i could spin a flip easy now i have a 7.75 and its a lot harder... maybe i just gotta get used to it but it spins alot slower which is good for my kickflips cos i always used to spin to much

I usually skate 7.75 or 8. I have a lot better control of it and my Frontside and Backside Crooked Grinds are a lot easier to me.
