It all depends on the year frame and style. Early BMX would have 44-46 T up front but modern frames will only use around 25T or so.

The smaller cogs on the freestyle-specific bikes cause more drivetrain losses, wear faster, and are more likely to slip on a full-power gate start. Way back the trick-only guys used to use the race bikes, which were built around 44:16.
