for performance, the bigger the better !
But it may depend also on your network because you may want to avoid
fragmentation.
You can test your MTU with some free tools such as easyMTU

For example if you use ethernet link, the MTU is 1500, leading to 1448 bytes
of data in each segment (20 IP + 20 TCP + 12 TCP timestamp option + 1448
data). If your router support this size without fragmentation, it's fine !
