Which Lloyd aluminum pan for different uses?

I've been thinking about getting a Lloyd pan for some time and want to order one, but which size and type should I get? I want to make Sicilian style, grandma style, maybe some al-taglio and foccaccia.

So far I'm leaning towards a Sicilian or Grandma pan. Maybe more the Sicilian since it give more options with the 1.5" height, for pies with a bit more volume. What the Grandma pan can do, the Sicilian can also, I suppose. The deeper Detroit pans are deeper than I need, so I'll rule those out.

Then size. I don't know if I can get hold of any size on Amazon or wherever I want to buy it, but are there any pros or cons to choosing smaller or larger pans? I read in a different topic that with larger pans and pies it was more likely to produce an uneven bake, and something about a larger pan being more likely to warp.

The advantage of a large pan is that if we need a lot of pizza and I want to do a final proof in the pan, it will all fit. An option could be having two smaller pans rather than a single large one. The ones I found on Amazon were 10x10x1.5 (625 cm²), 12x12x1.5 (900 cm²) and 14x14x1.5 (1225 cm²).

Edit: I've been reading around a bit and now I'm not sure if I want to try aluminum or steel. I'm convinced both work when used properly, but don't know which to get. I came across a steel pan from Effeuno, which happens to be readily available here in Norway.

Amazon sells only a subset of the pans that you can get on the Lloyd's website.  I opted for the 14x14x1.5-in Sicilian pan fro. Amazon... It's 0n sale now for $37.29 at Amazon which is a pretty good deal compared to the normal price.

You'll appreciate the extra 1/2" height.

PS
I get really good results using Nordic wear 13x18 plain aluminum half sheet pan placef directly on top of a baking steel.

I've been using Lloyd Pans for a couple of years, with really good results.  I use the dark coated aluminum ones in my gas-fired outdoor pizza oven, and I pre-bake the pizza crust for 3 minutes, and then make the pie, and cook it for about 5-6 minutes.  I very much like the durability of the Lloyd Pans, and the price seems fair for the quality.  Good luck.
