Regardless, on this subject you might consult some good books, like the Morgan Jones book, for a modern view, or the Radiotron Designer's Handbook, for a classic view.
In the no-brainer category, you need to figure out what DC voltage(s) you want to end up with and what sort of rectification and filtering you will use; those both affect the value of the AC voltage you need to appear at the secondaries of the power transformer in order to hit the targeted DC voltage. And then you need to have a very good idea of the current you will be needing to run the circuit. Once you know that it is beneficial to over-rate the transformer so far as the current requirement, by a factor of 2X to 3X, if you're going for best results regardless of cost.
