I use an 20" whirlaway with wheels, which I find good for most domestics.  My biz partner prefers the mosmatic (I think it's too heavy).
Bear in mind that a fsc effectively halves your pressure, two jets rotating rather than one on a lance.  I have no problem using a 3000psi/15lpm as long as you take your time.

if you fit the right jets it doesnt half your pressure it just divides the flowrate between the 2 jets, with a 15ltr per minute machine i would recomend a flat surface cleaner no bigger than 18 inch.
