Default Cabinet door stile/rail to panel proportions?

Hello all,

About to undertake my first project making frame and panel doors. I'm going
to "practice" on some doors and drawer fronts for a small bathroom vanity in
the basement before the real project - the kitchen cabinets.

Right now I'm wondering how to size the stiles/rails for the kitchen cabinet
doors. I was thinking something around 2 1/4 width, but you see, the doors
range in size from 8 1/2" wide to 14 7/3" wide. On the 8 1/2, that stile
width would leave just 4" of panel width in the middle. Visually, it may
look like more stile and rail than panel. OTOH, there is something to be
said for consistency on a large set of doors all in view at the same
time....

Opinions, experience here on the wreck? Better to proportion the stile/rail
to each individual door size? Or better to have a constant stile/rail width
across the whole set of doors? Books and the web give plenty of how-to on
making frame and panel, but haven't found anything on this yet.

Thanks
