If you are going with 28mm figs I would recomend basing individualy with 20mm round bases and then using a magnetic movement tray or stand appropriate for whatever system you end up with.

If you want to do skirmish games in 28mm then I recommend Brother against Brother. They use individually based figures in units of ten. You don't need loads figures to have a fun game.

If you are talking about Fire and Fury or Johnny Reb, then you are talking larger games, Brigade/regiment based with units comprising stands of multiple figures, so 15mm works best.
