It's not an exaggeration at all. You will definitely be mocked for using Arial, purely for it being the default font (meaning that you show how "new" you are by using it). Not that it makes a great deal of difference - font choice is largely down to styler preference. As long as it's readable and aesthetically pleasing, that should be enough really.

20pt is too small in my opinion. When I'm working in Aegisub, I usually go for something like 32pt to 36pt (but with different fonts - Arial, in general, is a large font). Most releases I've worked on have used fonts which are around 30pt or higher.

Best idea is to scroll through the fonts you have and pick one you like the best.

Bonus answer: do you mean karaoke - something that appears pretty regularly in OPs and EDs of fansubbing releases?
