A few people are blindly spurting out, "go with 1U x 19 inch". We, or should
I say myself and probably some others, would need to know what it is before
we could answer that. If it's the kind of unit that I would use more for
other keyboards and synths then I would use in an MOTM synth patch, then I
would say 19". If not, or if there are already similar units on the market,
then I would stay with the nice 3Ux5U. But without knowing what it is,
nobody can give a realistic answer.

Keep in mind, if a module is so super-ultra-mega-cool and is only available
in MOTM format, you might pick up a few more MOTM modular synth customers.
