24.75 just seems to fit me and my small hands best but I have them all and the PRS 25 is a good compromise...

I like the rich clear trebley piano-like tone that comes out of a 25 1/5 scale. Playing up past the 12th fret is also a little bit less crowded for my fingers.
I switched over by the way about 10 years ago when my music preferences changed. Prior to that I was an LP fanatic.

24.75. More comfortable to play an F chord and easier to bend.

whatever the instrument is supposed to have to sound and feel like it was meant to.
25 1/2" for my tele, 24 3/4" for my les paul (actually 24.6-something, but that's neither here nor there), 34" for my P bass, and 13 29/32" for my mandolin.

i voted 25.5, but that's only if it has a tune o matic style bridge. maybe this is obvious, but i've found that the kind of bridge you have changes how the strings feels. a reg strat bridge at 25.5 feels much different than a guitar at 25.5 w/ a tune o matic.

24.5 wasn't on the list but I just got a PRS Mira X that I'm loving.
It has a 24.5" scale.

The tricky chords that I can't reach on a 24.75 I also can't reach on a 25.5.
25.5 is the longest I can go for any sort of stretchy stuff in the lower positions but does provide a bit more space at the high end, so, I give it an edge for that.

I absolutely love how a LP plays, but I like the sound of a tele just a tad more. What I need is a set neck tele with bridge and stop tail-piece. That may be my ultimate guitar.
