What is the community accepted modeling unit? - AnrDaemon - 09-11-2018

What do people use as a base unit for their models?
Meters? Centimeters? Something in between?
I was aiming for 10cm as it seems to be good unit for a single small ingame object.
But it got me wondering.

I use the meter when modeling on Blender (easier to make a to-scale ship this way). And usually on the editor I use 10cm too.

As an Australian, I use the metric system.
I usually measure ship distances in metres or for especially big ones, ten metres.
For rooms & smaller things, decimeters(10cm).
I've never had to model in centimeters but I imagine if I was designing something to sit on a table then I might need to use centimeters.
