I can't help but think he'll love it whatever. Having GT or some other well known brand will be good bragging value with his mates. He prob will not want a 18" wheel because that's for the smaller kids and no one want to be associated with the smaller kids, you want to rule the smaller kids. Make sure you tell him how much it cost because that's what he'll be asked by ever other kid. If he gets into BMX more seriously he'll know what he wants specifically in a year or two.
I think Scott is right, it's unlikely the bike will be limiting his performance much, he'll just be having fun (you know what kid do). Really this is true of most people, it's very rarely the bike that stops you achieving something.
