If you don't care about the size of your number, just use isize or usize.
If you do care, then isn't it better to specify it explicitly than trying to guess it and having different compilers disagreeing on the size?

A type called isize is some kind of size. It looks wrong for something that isn't a size.
Then just define a type alias, which is good practice if you want your types to be more descriptive: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/type-aliases.html
Nope! Because then you will also define an alias, and Suzy will define an alias, and Bob will define an alias, ...
We should all agree on int and uint; not some isize nonsense, and not bobint or suzyint.
