To my eye, showing sock looks odd with cuffs. Dangly.

too long and too wide in my opinion
^^ if the leg opening is too narrow, the bottom of the trousers just stack up on top of your shoes regardless of the break.
What really boggles my mind is how much difference 1 cm does in leg opening. I don't have experience with suits, but I'm always changing opinions. I like the look of my Levis 501 which have 20 cms but I also like my Levis 511 which has a leg opening of 18 cms. I also have chinos with 18 cms (and a higher rise) and 19 cms and I like them both. It really depends on my mood and if I want to dress more classically or more "fashiony".
I'm 6'2" and 185lbs with an 11.5 shoe size. I just measured the pants from Chris Despos: 9". My RLBL pants: 9". My bespoke work from Bangkok: 9". I think it is safe to say I prefer 9" for my frame and so do those that make my clothes.
