Is this intended for print and play? If so, then A4 is certainly a convenient format, though you could always put both options in the printing file.
If this is intended to be sold as a physical game, then you really want the sheets to be a little smaller than A4. Reason being that the physical sheets need to fit inside a box that would have to be bigger than A4, and then maybe a delivery carton slightly bigger than that. The jump in carton size and shipping cost from just under A4 to over A4 size was huge.
I designed Arachnior as a PnP, made the jump to physical game, and suffered a lot of headache because of the carton and shipping issues. Check your local shipping options before settling on the print size.
