Default Hammer time

My lovely and thoughtful bride gave me a set of Grace brass punches for Christmas. I’m looking thru my tool chest and can only find my old Estwing framing hammer so I’m checking out the nifty brass hammers offered at Midway USA.

So..first rookie question of the day. What’s a good size general purpose gunsmith hammer for driving out pins, drifting gunsights, etc? Midway offers several, 4oz (1”dia), 8oz (1.125” dia) and 16oz (1.125” dia). I hate to guess. Many thanks and happy new year.
