Default Cucumbers: Optimum size

Some of my cucumbers are approaching the size of a two-man submarine.
Is there an optimal size for use in salads? Are they getting too big?

I'd give two criteria.
1) Does it still taste good?
2) Is the flesh to seed ratio still acceptable?

There's a 3rd criteria
3) How many of the damn things do you want? If fewer start letting
them become watermelons so there won't be as many flowers.
