Gene Krupa with BG trio and quartet: 26, 13, 16. Sounds great in my ears.
Ringo with Beatles: 20, 12, 14 and later 22, 13, 16. Both sound great to me (can't really hear the difference).
Steve Jordan most often use 14" floor toms and they sound great to me.
I once tried my early drumming hero's Gretsch kit, 24, 13, 14, 16, 18 with pinstripes on. I couldn't get a decent sound out of them. He showed the history of drumming on the same kit making it sound great both for jazz and rock.
When I chose drums for a gig I think as much of the space on stage as on the sound possibilities.
Oh, I play mostly with my garage rock band, 22, 13, 16 - 20, 12, 14 or 28, 13 16 kits to choose from.
I think I'm a pretty sloppy drummer though...
