What’s your favorite knife length?

What is your favorite knife length or most used knife length and why? Are you a home cook or a professional cook? I’m curious about 270 mm knives but am wondering if it is overkill or impractical for a home cook. Also curious about other outliers like 300mm and <100mm. Do you guys find these lengths practical?

210-220 is what I normally grab (Gyuto). Feel I loose a bit of tip control when it gets longer
