 I use to build a lot 3in surface calls  I would say its easyer to get a turkey sound from a 3.5 surface then a 3in surface   With 3in call you eather got it or u don't had many that just didn't make the cut

I prefer 3" personally, they fit in my hand better.
My 3" Yingling copper is #1

I build a 3.25 and 3" as well. 3.5" is just the standard

Smaller is usually higher pitch and struggle with  roll over in my experience.  I prefer 3.5, but have some 3.25 as well.  Below that they get tough for me to work with.  The larger size gives more area and find a bigger sweet spot.
