Well, after much thought I went with 4 inch pockets with a 141 degree pocket rail angle and 14 degree down angle (as well as Artemis K66 Intercontinental cushions) on my Brunswick Medalist. Made this choice as I didn't want to be intimidated by any pool table I may run into playing serious pool. (It is primarily a home practice table, plus I like one pocket.) The pockets will accept a firmly hit ball down the rail.
Found that my form had to improve to adjust to the tight pocket requirements. My stroke is now smoother, softer and straighter. Surprisingly, my rotation play has actually improved. The table forces me to plan better, focus more, and control both my body and mind much more than I ever have before. In short, it's forced me to work harder and made me stronger.
