We have a Swift Cornich 14/4 and wondered about what size we would need.

Yes they fit any size.  The only thing you need to watch is that the one you choose will fit suitably over/between your windows and door, you would not want it ending up half way across a window.  Yes , I have seen one fitted like that !!!

Porches often come in 3 sizes, Mini, Midi and Maxi, so it all depends how big you want it and what suits your van best.

I think you also need to get the correct height.  Some caravans are taller than others.  I had a look at the NR  site and they sell them in 7', 7'6 and 8' heights. Have a look Awnings

Bear in mind that a regular porch takes as long to put up as a full awning

Take care over the height of the Porch.My Avondale has a very low awwning rail so most don't fit, however Isabella make a special Minor(low) Porch to fit. The downside is that it is only available in Burgandy. I have not used mine yet as I only bought in December ,privately, second hand from an advert in Practical Caravan.

I dont think you will have the same problem with a Swift.

Ours is a Trio Midi.  Because of the design the height is not an issue.  Super awning but a real pain to put up.  We also have a Fiamma Caravanstore. Great for short stops. We have 2 side panels and a front/extension.  Since getting it we have hardly used the porch.   Only good in summer/nice weather though.  Think Italian climate !!
