Do I need a permit for a dumpster in MA?

On your own driveway, almost never. On the street or any public right-of-way, usually yes, and the rules are set by the town, not the state. Ask the hauler first; companies that work a town daily know its rules and many pull the permit as part of the job.

What size dumpster should I rent in Massachusetts?

Companies here publish prices for 10 yard, 15 yard, 20 yard and 30 yard containers. Size is volume, but weight decides the bill. Every rental includes a fixed tonnage and anything over it is charged by the ton. Concrete or roofing hits the limit long before the container looks full.

Most of the gap between states is disposal: haulers pay a landfill by the ton and those gate rates are local, so two companies an hour apart can quote very differently for the same container.
