I consider 6" for general utility blades but for chopping and big tasks, 8-10 is the best size I think.
10 is more than some people like. Go to a store and hold some in different lengths and see what you like. Maybe take some onions and a board to give some test chops if they'll let you.

===== also, when you "chop" by keeping the tip of the knife on the board
and using it like a paper cutter, the longer blade is definitely easier to use.
