Go a big as you can go as many others mentioned it can’t be big enough. If in a zoned residential area ensure to check your restrictive covenants as often the garage can only be a max % of the house or lot.

If multiple bays ensure to have a minimum of 3ft between bays (often builders only go two feet). Triple door is more beneficial then a single and a double as well.

If attached, a pure rectangular garage limits space for work benches and such. If there’s the ability to include some additional space in the design to fit said work benches and such that can help. Building a garden shed at the same time house is going up can be beneficial particularly if building one of substance (piled with grade beam and floor slab).
