For most players I would suggest a 20oz. It will give you around 1000 shots on a good day. But it really depends on where you play. Do you play backyard ball or at a field that fills all-day air? If you play at a field that does all day air you could go smaller.

do you have a particular brand of tank in mind. i also have a diablo mongoose paint marker for scenario play. i live close to nesbit ms. they have paintball bunkers and everything. its an entire field. but they say i cant use a my diablo marker or a 20ounce tank. its a load of crap. can you not use 20ounce tanks in scenario play?

Who told you that a field employee? You can use any size tank, and any marker to my knowledge. They might be trying t o sell you something. 

CO2 tanks are manufactued by only a few companies(Catilina comes to mind) and they just slap a different sticker on the tank and sell them under different brand names. Pretty much all CO2 tanks are the same quality.

If you have the money, I would go for HPA. But if you dont have the money its not that big of a deal right now.

16oz Tanks are awsome.  There a little Fat, but they get almost as many shots as a 20, but they are alot more smaller.

Yea... so if you have little arms they work great, but if your using a large drop forward, or a Remote I suggest a 20oz, but if your just running it off the bottom of your grip frame with a standard on/off or stock ASA go with the 16oz.
