The size of your hand and individual preference matters. For a big reel like a ZB 27 most guys would want a 20 or 22 mm diameter seat. The standard seats are fuji dps and they come in lots of sizes. I'll suggest, however, that you try (or look at) a fuji nps seat. These have a molded/tapered front hood and flattened sides that make them more comfortable in hand. They go well with tape/xflock heat shrink grips. The largest size is a 20 mm. Some guys find this feels small, but I have pretty large hands and like how the seat fits to my ZB 25. One issue with the nps design, however, is that the smaller 17 and 18 seats don't accept the foot of the first gen ZB 22, but do fine with shimano reels (I don't know if it would be an issue with VS's).
The other area where you run into trouble with reel seat/reel foot mismatch is with these newer molded trigger seats and old Newell reels.
