Anything smaller than 0805 will be very slow to assemble. Anything smaller
that SOIC will eventually cause you to lose traces, unless you have a 
hot-air
assembly unit.  0402 is a serious joke... a sneeze will blow away all 
your inventory.

I have sucessfully done TSSOP28 but it is always dicey. I only use these 
sizes as
a last resort.
