They are all Carassius auratus, and thus will all grow to about the same length.
Specifically, the oranda will grow to a minimum of 3-4", 5-6" is common
The fantails, about 6-8". Same goes for the pearlscale.

Fantails, about 7-8". Pearlscales an inch or two shorter.

All fish, including goldfish, grow continuously throughout their lifetime, so if kept in a pond, (where goldfish are supposed to live) they could get quite large. If you keep fish in too small of a tank, you're stunting their growth, and shortening their lifespan.

If kept in a proper sized tank with good filtration they can grow to be more then 8".

It really depends on what size tank you have.
