hello guys i am wondering what are some must have iso's for a ventoy drive? and what size ventoy drive would you recomend (i am considering buying a 512gb, 1tb or 2tb tranced 220s nvme)

Back story: So i recently started my own "business" in computer support and i need a drive to put ventoy on (its currently on a 32gb micro sd card) so i can easily have memtest, ultimatebootcd and some linux distro's/windows install media and i am wondering if there would be any reason not to go with the cheapest per gb drive(2tb) as i could then also use it for some nice snappy file transfers. I am also looking to compile a list of iso's to put on it. As i mentioned before i already have a few things but you guys probably have more suggestions for iso's to put on a drive for repair\troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance for your advice on drive size and ISO recommendations.

Not on my server but it's the distro I'm most familiar with and that means it's also helpful for my laptop
