Ok, have to decide whether to default to 0603 or 0402 for resistors and
stuff on a new design. Wow, this time I am not size constrained.

Both are OK for common design. Using 0402 means you haven't too many
BGAs onboard.
Else you need 0201. 0402 could be manually soldered. I've solder
desolder many
of them in small prototypes series ( 10 to 20 pcs of PCB)

I suggest either 0402 with at least 0603 pad size for test points or
0603 without test points.
