Preferred wheel size for comfort

Which wheel size do you recommend for all round comfort, taking into account motorway, potholes, speed bumps, occaisional off-road?
Perhaps what you have is 'perfect'; or you find what you have a little too firm; or too soft, or compromise driving stability...

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

I am happy with my 18 inch wheel size in summer and 17 inches for the winter.
Impossible to compare the comfort, it is the Seasonal.

I had 17" wheels, but recently bought a set of 19" alloys. I didn't notice any difference in the ride at all. The new ones look better thought...

I had 17" alloys and changed them for 18" I think the ride is slightly harder but barely perceptible and definitely worth it for the improvement to the looks!
