This is a really tough question. I love both my 1/6 and 1/4 scale dolls for different reasons. If I had to choose only one size/scale though, I would choose 1/4, 40-48cm. Minis are large enough that I can make clothes for them, so far I find them easier to give faceups to plus I find them easier to photograph. They're still easy enough to transport, pose and play with.
As much as I love my Barbies, my 16-20" gang would be it. I can sew for them much more easily than my 12" crew. But that being said I'd never give up any of my dolls. Isn't going to happen!!!!

1/6, compact and highly portable. Its easier to find stuff for them. On the bjd side there are anthros of the scale and fairies so its not just all young kids.
