Going beyond rule of thirds to techniques like the golden ratio; When you crop, what size ratio are you aiming for in your final print, ie, what is the ideal print size ratio?

Including that's the size of most models' books, plus cropping from 9x12 to 11x14 (size of my portfolio(s) and 8x10(16x20) seems to work very well. That being said if an image works best at 2.3 or 1:1 I simply print it with a border. OMG I saw a nipple, my eye's are bleeding!
