Do we need all these different needle gauges

I’ve been using 21-gauge needles for most of my draws, but I’ve seen some discussions about needing 18 or 23 gauge depending on the patient. Is this really necessary for routine draws, or are we over-complicating things? I’d love to hear how others decide what gauge to use in their practice.
