Default 15mm or 22mm pipe for CH? (or even 28mm)?

Stelrad single panel?

Sorry I haven't replied to this thread for a while, I shall try to do
so today or tomorrow. In the meantime can I ask one quick question:

Do I need 28mm pipe for central heating/hot water if the system is
pumped? Is it that 28mm is only for gravity fed systems? If there is a
pump in place, does 28mm offer any advantage over 22mm?

Thanks.
