I like my porter cable 6", sanding disks are less readily available at hardware stores compared to the 5" but buying ahead of time and in bulk helps. If you are only going to use it occasionally, 5" may make more sense.

Edit: buy one that you can get a dust free kit and you will be able to use it in more boatyards.
