In feynman's 'Surely you're joking' there's a chapter where he designs some machinery for the army. He gets as guidance to use cogs from the middle of the list of available options, as the smallest or largest parts have all kinds of downsides.
This idea works well in all kinds of situations where you have to select parts. I assume it might do well here, too.
