Try the new Fafner if you can find one. Supposed to be big when you need it, but still agile.
Here is what I would recommend:
6/4 or 5/4 - Rudy Meinl, Willson 3100, MW 195 (Fafner)
4/4 - King (new or old), MW 25, Miraphone 186, Miraphone 191
3/4 - MW 18, Conn 5J
Recommendations are based on sound, reliability, build quality, repairability, and ability to resell if needed.
Just my opinion.
Good Luck,
