scale floor question

When looking at all the various flooring and clapboard, there are many
choice to choose from. My question comes in at which size spacing is for
what? I know that some are close to each other and would be a matter of
choice for the builder. What is the cut-off from one size to the other in
terms of scales. I have listed some below. I appreciate your help.
Thanks, Patrick

Flooring:
1/16" groove
3/32" " "

I've never looked at it in those terms. I just go with what looks right
for the project I am working on at the time.
