Optimum wavelength % for a stick antenna?

Hi All:

Is there an optimum % length for an antenna when the antenna is a simple
straight stick? 1/4 wave... 1/2, 5/8, full wave? Does it differ depending
on wavelength? If size is not a consideration, is a full wavelength
preferable?

I've Googled around a bit but haven't found a good explanation yet.
