Use the largest you can. Unless you have a very shallow board or a very
narrow one, there is no reason not to use a good sized biscuit. I space
them about 12" to 15" or so.

That sounds about right. You want them close to the edge for good
allignment, but not too close. Make real darn sure you don't put them where
you might cut through one when cutting the panel to size. For a shelf it
doesn't much matter, but can be very embarrassing in other places.
