I have looked through my Cornish Menhirs Top Trumps (TM) pack and the highest stone is the Northern Piper at Boliegh, comes in at 16.5 ft..next is the southern stone at 13.5 ft. However Men Gurta is also 13.5 and would possibly win on the fact that it is a much broarder stone. Other giants that would be useful to have in your hand would be the Blind Fiddler 11.5 ft and Music Water 11.8 ft. Two that i am not familiar with are Tresvennack 11.5 and Pridden 11.5.....Dry Tree and Beersheba are both 10.5 ft high whilst Buller is a waste of time at only 9.8 ft..

....now, how about most difficult to find...my deal, Carfury

How about the biggest Cap stone?

Pawton or Lanyon Quoit?

The tallest known menhir in Cornwall was the Men Pearne in Constantine parish. This was, according to Hencken, 20 foot tall (9.5m, Barnatt gives 6.0m), though this was broken up for gate posts about the mid-18th century. Hencken gives Tresvennack as the tallest remaining in Cornwall, but this is 3.55m tall, whereas the north east Piper, if upright, would be 5.05m tall. I believe the heaviest is the Men Gurta, though only 3.05m tall it weighs 16.8 tons.
