I agree with David. Have one time control per board size. I like the 5-minute controls for 9x9. You can take your program down for extensive offline testing and still get 100 games per day. That is far more data than you can analyze. Still, the speed is fast enough for ratings to stabilize in a day or two. I have no opinion on larger board sizes.
