For what it's worth, we use 128k, 4m, and 128m. Those numbers were taken from the paper "How to Stop Defragmenting and Start Living". Can't remember the author but I'm sure someone will chime in as it's a well-known paper.

I'm here.. was away for a day but you guys flood my inbox :)

goldilocks was the name I gave to the methodology of "small"/"medium"/"large" tablespace sizing. There was no hard and fast rule for how big each of these tablespaces should be, nor was there one for the extent sizes.

Just that if a table was too big for "small" and too small for "big" then medium would be "just right", just like Goldilocks.
