Sided Brushes (help plz?)

[|NSC|-Steelie-NS*LR*]

Hi guys, I've got a prob.

When you make a sided brush, how do you know how many sides you need, for an object? are there some tricks for that or a list? or do you have to find out yourself?

generally i dont use brushes with sides to make stuff, i use meshes and cylinders. but it's mostly instinctive. the more sides the more faces to texture/wrry about in compile time/deal with ingame.
