4x6, 5x7, 8x10 should fit exactly the 35mm format and DSLR sensor 3:2 aspect ratio, the compact Digitals though have a 4:3 aspect ratio so wont fit the 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 paper sizes exactly

The A sizes also require cropping of the 3:2 aspect ratio for borderless printing without cropping the viewable image.

Like you say, if you are going to cut and mount it doesnt really matter as you just cut the matt to fit the print.
