Smaller components will be lighter (including a shorter chain), but (if I remember correctly) larger cogs are marginally more efficient. The effects are really minimal though.

Is there much of a difference in terms of feel, regarding stiffness or something like that? I mean technically I'd expect smaller components to be a bit stiffer, but I doubt this is something one would notice below absolute pro level...

Overall, what would you vote for?
