As far as I can see there are 2 main sizes that are used M5 and M6. M6 being bigger.
I've found most modern devices will only work with M5. The rack mounts won't fit the M6. Some older devices and heavy items like SANs and 3U servers etc will take the M6 ones. Some devices come with smaller holes for the M5 and a larger one in the middle of the mount for the M6 so you can use either.
Got these before, they run out faster than you would expect since I ping at least one off into oblivion every time.

I've used this kind of cage nut tool and it really helps (no more stabbing your self with a screw driver)
