Probably 6.7". My Galaxy A71 is already at 6.7". 
My issue would probably be on weight. My A71 is 6.7" but it weighs only 180gram. The 12 Pro Max is at 228grams.
I hope Apple would consider aluminum again for the larger iPhones. The 12 weighs 25grams less than the 12 Pro despite both having the same size, thanks to aluminum. Maybe this is why the rumor of titanium. It's stronger than stainless steel, but lighter.

Yes, that is without cover. My pro is 207g with cover. Steel should not be considered a pro on a mobile device.Probably 6.7". My Galaxy A71 is already at 6.7".

5.4" for me. If I need a bigger screen, I have my iPad and MBP.
You’re on the same page as me. Tried out the 12 pro max and came incredibly close to buying it; the display size was just perfect for me and it felt great holding it in the hand. But that weight would suck in the pocket during summer. Something closer to 200g or just below it would be fine; the iPhone 11 at 194g never gave me any issues for example.Probably 6.7".

Both equally spec'd? What if the phone of your choice was missing something important to you that the other size had. Would you change your decision? Mind blowing stuff here, isn't it?
If both were equally spec'ed, I'd choose the 5.7". I would welcome a phone that is a bit smaller than the 6.1", but a bit larger than the mini at 5.4".
No cheating @VineRider, choices are 5.4 v/s 6.7, you just got all funky up in here...

Man - Not sure how I mangled that up. I re-read and for sure OP stated 5.4.....but, a 5.7 would be ok too
So, given the original choice, I'd go for 5.4...
I'm just stupidly bored today at work, just breaking your chops, LOL, please I didn't mean any offense
Easiest question ever lol the 5.4 would be dead on arrival for me. The 6.7 no question asked.
I would take even a cheaper big phone like the A71 over say a 13 mini pro with flagship specs and 120hz. A small screen is pointless for what I use my phone for.
There’s a way, aka using plastic frame and back. Plastic is exactly why there are many Android phones with hefty 5000 and 6000 mAh batteries, yet they weigh less than iPhones.
But plastic brings other issues like durability.
Devinm, the prophesized Iphone Flip/Fold is calling for you (and me to).
Yes they should have released the 12 Pro in its native 5.8". I would have had a serious headache choosing between the 12 Mini 5.4 and a 12 Pro 5.8 (in Graphite). First world problem i know.
