SharePoint system sizing
Omni_Knight You are mistaken. The 25TB limit is per site collection.

So, if you were to go with F1 or F3 based on that table. The limit is 50 exabytes (25 TB x 2,000,000 site collections). With the number of users that you have, you would get 14 TB OOTB and then you can choose to purchase additional storage if you need to - Add more SharePoint storage to your subscription | Microsoft Learn.
Just make sure you have all your requirements ahead of time and know the features that come with each M365 plan such as security, compliance, etc.,
Consider hiring a consultant to implement best practices (implement a proper information architecture, security, governance, adoption, training, etc.,). Being able to store information online is one story, maintaining and keeping the environment secured is another.
Let me know 🙂 I know a few people in the industry.
But to note, you DON'T want all your files in one site collections. You gonna need mulitple one and one for each context, So go through it all and create sites accordingly.
So for Example you create a site collection for IT Department and place all the documents there.
