I found this very informative, particularly the many sizing tables.
That's a great article with a lot to process. Personally speaking, I abandoned any type of "coated" eyes in favor of eyes that don't chip or get ugly. There's nothing worse than having to scrap or redo flies because the coating has chipped away. With flies like Clousers that ride "eyes down", chipping and eye damage is unavoidable. I either tie with plan lead/brass dumbbell eyes or eyes or something along the lines of this.
