Arbitrary size whatever works best for the picture

I have two rationale for not being able to be "close enough" a good composition (e.g. why I have to do cropping in pp):
1) Since I can do it in PP, I rather spend my (limited) brain power for other things when I shoot (I try to shoot a bit "too" wide to allow some room for choosing the compoisiton when cropping in PP). Most important of those "other things" is trying to catch an especially interesting moment.
2) There is just one sensitive enough focus point in my 5D - the middle one. So when the performer is jumping around, I have to keep the center focus point at a place where I want the focus to be. Results into extremely crappy compositions more often than not

Yeah, I end up doing the same thing too. I'm still using 'One Shot' plus half shutter AF/AE lock (CF 4=0) then recompose. Sometimes I just don't have time to recompose. AE doesn't matter so much as I'm always shooting manual anyway.
