You can set Cinema units to real-world dimensions in preferences. You can also set the import scaling there for all kinds of formats.
In the end, it's completely relative. If you model in inches (which I used to do), you end up with tiny models. That's fine except for some dynamics things like hair and cloth. On the other hand, it's been recently reiterated that the grid space (the grid you see in perspective view) is a good guideline for how much space to use in your work, so use whatever solution that keeps you in that space. Some people use multiples of 100, so that 1 inch equals 100 units of whatever kind.
Suffice it to say that the simple answer is in the first paragraph, unless you're using more exotic things that're optimized to work best at larger dimensions.
