How many Stash Tabs do you need in SSF (Standard / League) ?

A very hard question to answer. Depends on play style, and habits/quirks you may have.

I tend to pick up a lot of shit; I play ARPGs to get loot, and loot I shall get. Additionally I can't stand a messy stash. I'm a bit of a messy guy in real life, but in games everything must be organized. Because of that I use all the special tabs, and almost all of the 36 premium and 2 Quads I own.
Each type of gear must be in it's own tab. Example: one for quality gems, one for abyss gems, one for crafting bases, etc.....

So as a suggestion I'd start with all the special ones (map, currency, etc), and two quads. Play for a while and see how you manage; adjust based on budget.

I have 58 premium, plus all the special tabs (except Metamorph)
I usually have half of them unused by league end.
I do consolidate my tabs before the league ends as well, to reduce the RO tabs in SSF STD.

Last year, I thought that 20 premium stashes were way too much, but now I have 25 and they are all used ^^

A casual player would not need that many stashes, you really should buy your stashes progressively.

In SSF I'm happy that I have the unique stash tab because I like keeping at least one unique of each type I find, "just in case". It would take a dozen regular stash tabs to do the same. This is not needed in trade league.

The unique page is more of a trophy case than a stash tab. Actually quite disappointed with it.

That's the only specialty tab that I haven't bought. The delirium tab is not very useful to me. The rest are nice. I have about 120 or 140 tabs and they almost all are being used in standard. That's way more than is required, though.

When I play in league I use about 15 tabs. I usually play standard though. I just don't spend enough time playing to play in the league, usually.
