Well, since your list is prejudice against 7 x 17, I put my vote in the 11x14 catagory since they have about the same diagonal.
 
I still have my 8x10 Sinar P2, with six Schneider lenses. I am dreaming of a new studio. 8x10 or larger outdoors is terra incognita for me.

3ft.X3ft. film ,2 room size copy camera.

I have always had this vision of bolting one of those to a flat-bed truck, maybe on low-rider jacks so you could aim it better, and drive around around the country taking pictures.

Someone did this on a rail car; it wasn't a process camera, but it was about the same size. Publicity shots for a rail-road, late 1800's.
 
I voted for 11x14 inch because that was the largest camera I used when I was working for a studio.

However, 8x10 inch is the largest camera I have ever owned.
