It all depends on your market, size breakdown is demand driven.

I would buy more M, L, I have had it where I sell less S, a few more XL. But the majority was M, and L

But again like stated above it all depends on your market. I sell to the 18-28 age group

18 years and over is a pretty broad market. I worked for a company that wanted me to design for an age bracket like that and those groups from 18-80 have to many things that are different. I suggest narrowing your market down, but if your question is just for sizing and not design then I would go S-1 M-2 L-2 XL-3 XXL-2
