Do you select plants that have a maturity of the max size you are looking for, or do you select say a 7-8ft shrub and trim it every year to keep it the size you want?

Personally I consider both the eventual size I want, how fast it grows, and how well it responds to trimming/pruning. If I want something 3-4 ft, I probably want it to mostly fill that space within a reasonable timeframe so either go with a 3-4 foot shrub that is fast-growing or something that will end up a bit bigger than that but can be easily trimmed.
