So I'm going to a roller furler jib for cruising. What size would be
best?
120, 135,150, etc!

It depends on your cruising area, and the times of year you sail.
I'd say the default answer is a 135 but for Chesapeake Bay or LI Sound in
summer cruising, a 150. For San Francisco Bay, 115 or 120...
For offshore cruising, I'd lean towards 135 but without knowing more about
your boat or plans, nobody can offer much advice

I'm considering a 130, and I sail in the SF bay. That's what Quantum
recommended... they can make one that's got the luff foam so the shape is
good when it's reefed. Most of the time, of course, it would down to 90%.
