Opinions regarding subnet sizes

Hey all. I'd like to solicit opinions regarding using /24 subnets vs using /23 subnets for end users, specifically in making it easier/harder to manage tagging end user access ports in switch stacks.

Is it easier because you can tag more ports with the same vlan for that subet? Is it harder to deal with that size subnet because of broadcast traffic, naming, etc? That kind of thing...

Basically I'm trying to plan for growth why making things as simple and straightforward as I can. I'm using Juniper switches in a virtual chassis, but I think it would apply to any manufacturer. Any other thoughts regarding subnet size design welcome too. Thanks in advance.
