Why not go with the largest size you can. You don't have to use it if you don't need it. It would be nice in an emergency. Don't have to travel with it full. You could always dump it when convenient.

I would never trust my life to cinder blocks. Heard a long time ago that they were not appropriate for support. I use cribbing for mine. Start with 2 foot square base and stack on top of that.
