All depends on the size of the household, how i plan to manage the household over the duration and the size of the lot.
Typically however i go for two floors and a basement floor on bigger lots of 40x40 and higher. I've managed to perfect a means at saving space while getting everything i want in place, but i also leave room for expansion if and when needed. If i want a swimming pool but lack space on the ground floor i can move it to a first or second floor basement, or set it up on the 4th floor and having to work around what space is left on the 3rd floor.
On smaller lots from 30x20 to 40x30, i typically go for two floors and two basement floors. With lots smaller than 20x20, it's all about space management while making it look like you still have space in each room, that might mean 3 or 4 floors and 2 or 3 basement floors, possibly even 4 basement floors.
it's fun to challenge yourself, especially on smaller lots to come up with something imaginative.
