I’d say that to sum up growth rate & pitcher size for Ventricosa, it’s like Veitchii with a bit larger leaves. Ventrata grow like a weed so I’d say give it as much space as possible. It’s pitchers are around 5 in. I’m sorry but I’m afraid I can’t speak for Miranda.
 
"Miranda" wins among the three in all categories hands down. Vines can exceed 20 feet if left alone, leaves over a foot and a half, pitchers can be up to 15" tall as well.
For the other two it would depend entirely on what ventricosa variant you're referencing. Some are small and fairly compact growers, others like the woody hourglass-shaped ones can get decently sized, and "ventrata" lands between those variations.
