Question Belt grinder question??

Im going to make a homemade belt grinder and i need a lil advise on what size to make it. Well to get to the point what is the most popular or most common used belt size around. That has the most grits avaliable for it.

I agree, 2 x 72 has the best variety of grit sizes and availability.
