For most adult sparring, 16oz is the safest starting point.
Many Muay Thai and boxing gyms require 16oz gloves for sparring. Some allow 14oz for lighter fighters or technical sparring.
There's no universal rule, so check with your coach before buying.
If you're buying one pair for general training and sparring, 16oz can also be a practical choice.
For everyday gym training, velcro is usually more convenient. You can put your gloves on yourself and quickly remove them between rounds.
Lace-up gloves provide a more adjustable fit around the wrist and are worth considering if you prefer a traditional boxing-style closure.
