Traditionally, sopranos were mostly 12 fret. 15 frets extend the range of the instrument to 2 octaves (C to C). Those last 3 frets don't get used much, but sooner or later you'll probably use one or two. Jake Shimabukuro's "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" requires 15 frets. I do "They Can't Take That Away From Me" in Bb, and need fret 13. Improvised lead work occasionally gets me up in that area. 12 is plenty for accompaniment.
