I used to think 28mm was my favorite size. Then I got 32mm tires. Mmm, cushy.

I took a club ride with 9 other riders on Sunday. It was on a trail, and I had the narrowest tires of everyone, even though most people had road bikes. Wide tires are much better than they used to be. They really rock. I say get a bike that can accept at least 32mm, perhaps more. I know people who want them much wider. On Sunday, I got pretty jostled, and some people were just gliding over the roots and ruts.
