For me, the minimum diameter for a wok should be 14". barely big enough to stir fry for two.  Especially if it is flat bottom.

 

less than 14" it is just a deep skillet.

 

I prefer a 16" wok.

I just came across this.

 

The most common size for a domestic wok here is 35 cm - just under 14 inches. And they are commonly used to cook multiple dishes at one meal, for a lot more than two people.

I'm looking at shifting over to carbon steel wok

 

The way to go. The vast majority of woks used in China on a daily basis are carbon steel. I wouldn't buy anything else.
