Here’s an overview how large transactions of each type are: 


Type|Input  vbyte|Output vbyte|transaction vbyte
Taproot|57,5|43|111
Native SegWit|68|31|109.5
Nested SegWit|93|32|134
Nested SegWit|140|34|192

For each input, we will save additional transaction fees.
You mean legacy address where I bold.

Most wallets as of today are using native segwit as the default which makes native segwit transaction make up more than 95% of the total bitcoin transaction. Those exchanges are the ones that is still making use of legacy address the most.
