It all depends in your batch size. I use a 40 quart kettle for 5.25 gallon batches with a boil volume of 6.87 gallons.

I use a 60 quart kettle for brew in a bag (BIAB), with total volume up to about 8-8.5 gallons. It's a little overkill for 5.5 gallon batches, but I don't really have to worry about boil overs. Plus, I have the capacity (at least for smaller grain bills) to do 11 gallon batches.

The biggest you can afford. I know it sounds silly, but honestly I went from 7 gallon to keggle and now I am looking at a 100qt......
