Most of what's created today 16:9 or some other widescreen format.  Older 
stuff?  Maybe not "99.998%", but certainly a majority of the content ever 
created by mankind is likely a 4:3 aspect.  Except movies.

If you watch more modern content, then you can better utilize the space 
for a larger system.  Me, I use my 16:9 projection system mostly for 
watching HDTV and movies, so 99.998% of what I watch is actually 16:9.
