75/80mm lens is standard on a 6x6 camera, so the vertical aspect is similar from the same position whether you are shooting 6x6, 6x12 or 6x17 with a 75mm lens. So I think of a panoramic camera in terms of the vertical aspect first and then the wide panoramic horizontal aspect second. It's just my way of working, of course you could work the other way around.
If I was shooting 10x4 panoramas with my 10x8 camera then yes I'd want something slightly wider than a 150mm.
