Most to Least Common Sockets Used on an Avy?

I'm putting together some Metric flex wrenches and notice there are some sizes not included in some sets like the Craftsman (for example) which does not include a 14mm. This lead me to think what socket/wrench sizes are most common to least common (or not used at all!) on Avalons/Toyota's in general? Anybody?
[I'm a recent convert from the SAE side of the house so I don't have a damned clue]. THANKS!

I bet somebody out there has a list of every nut size used in the 1St Gen Avalons....

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I think 10mm is the most common used in Toyotas. 12mm is used for the sway bar brackets,14mm is used for the sway bar links, along with the torque strut mounts bolts, right engine bracket and several other similar parts. Least used will probably be like 5.5mm I think, or very small sizes.

A good set of metric deep well sockets alone will get you 75% of the way there. Something like 10-19mm.
