I see differnt suggestions from very detailed (like here) to more brief, like google (here). so I am wondering what are the most suitable sizes to be used @media screen.

I guess this depends on the design, which might differ each build. It also depends if your using 100% fluid or changing on breakpoints.
I tend to use some of the following, generally the large sizes don't change much at all between breakpoints:
@media screen and (min-width:320px){} // mobile portrait
@media screen and (min-width:480px){} // mobile landscape
@media screen and (min-width:768px){} // ipad portrait
@media screen and (min-width:1024px){} // browser, ipad landscape
@media screen and (min-width:1200px){} // browser
@media screen and (min-width:1600px){} // browser
No point trying to cover all the different android etc resolutions...there are so many.
Also sometimes the breakpoints don't trigger on the actual size due to the scrollbar, which each browser has different rules for. Might be wise to cut off 20px per @media to make sure they trigger. I sometimes swap the min-width:320px for a max-width: 480px, as under 320 nothing might be displayed.
This may not a “stat”, but take a look at Twitter Bootstrap that is starting to be used a lot.
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/main/scss/_variables.scss
In short:
- <= 767px
- 768px – 979px
- 980px – 1199px
-
= 1200px
According to Statcounter those are currently (10.2022) the most used monitor sizes:
- 1920x1080 - 8.87%
- 1366x768 - 6.63%
- 360x800 - 5.91%
- 1536x864 - 4.09%
- 414x896 - 3.65%
- 390x844 - 3.6%
Percents are an amount of internet users.
