Mine didn't come with a sack and their are so many sizes. Can some recommend one that would be a good - perfect fit?

I've got my Vertex Tarp in A set of Wilderness Logics Mesh Tarp Skins. Good fit and easiest & quickest deployment and stowage. Works for me.

I just pulled mine to see how little space I could stuff it into. A 2 qt or 2 liter bag will do, easily, if you fold and roll. Or find a bag for a similar 11 x 11 tarp from JRB or AHE
It easily fits into a small JRB speed sack. Enough so that if you need to shove into a space, it will compress.
Discretion is the better of valor
You can get 3 stuff sacks of various sizes at Walmart for 5 bucks. They are decent quality but a little heavier material. its a cheap way to go ... use the one that fits. If you're like me and like to have you gear organized you will use the stuff sacks for something if you don't end up using them for your tarp. I stuff a hennessy hex tarp in the middle sized bag. I bought the set of stuff sacks figuring some day I would upgrade to something better but I never seemed to need the 20 dollar stuff sack.
PS: You can get a surprising amount of usable stuff at Walmart for backpacking. Don't limit your search to the camping aisle. I bought a microfiber towel for about 2 dollars that I use for a camp towel. It is lighter, cheaper, and dries twice as fast as the 30 dollar alternative at the camping store.
I am able to cram my vertex tarp and hammock into the built in pocket stuff sack on the NX-250 without any problem, after securing the Velcro closure a couple of straps enable further compression. Works well.
