Really all reference monitors will work, it is a matter of how clear and efficient you want them to be. The whole purpose of a reference monitor is to play back without adding "color" to the mix, so that you can hear as close as possible what is recorded.

The smaller ones will lack in Bass, the larger ones take up a lot of space. Once you refer, or listen to a lot of music in genres you like you can get a feel for what sounds right and mix your songs to that ideal, you will find out how to use them.

I personally would not buy under 5" and would prefer 8" woofs. I currently have M-Audio BX5As, and they do a great job. I am familiar with the sound of them.
