My 8" RT has a MT3. I'd go for the largest table that you can handle or fits. The more T slots the better for clamping things to it. The table gets looking a lot smaller by the time you have to clamp the work on. I bought an 8" three jaw chuck that has bolt holes thru the face for mounting. My RT only has 3 T slots but that makes it easy to mount the chuck. By the time the chuck is mounted the entire ass'y is too heavy for me to handle. I turned a bar of steel with a MT3 that I use to center the chuck. Put wrench flats on it so you can get it out! I ended up making an 11" diameter auxiliary table with more T slots and surface area.
