The ad network AdRoll did research in April 2010 and determined that 300×250 banner ads perform 20-30% better than 728×90 or 160×600 ads (on average). View the complete AdRoll research.

There are a lot more banner ad sizes than just the three sizes above. You can find more details at the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).
