I think you'll find that most people will tell you that the blade size is one of preference. But for the sake of getting started, I think you'll also find that most people will suggest either a 5/8 ro 6/8 initially. Its kind of a middle of the road size and common. I personally prefer 6/8 and 7/8 sizes. If you find a 6/8 that catches your eye, I suggest the 6/8. It gives you a little more blade to hang on to performing different grips.
