Dunno, seems like the small pond would be more fun but could limit potential and achievements.

I could see arguments both ways.
My son just graduated from a really small high school earlier this year. His graduating class was 55 male/female students, so Sports were a big part of his experience. He (6'0" 185#) was a standout defensive end, who confounded many larger competitors, and was always leading tackler on defense. and leading blocker on offense. He was awarded 2nd team all conference honors for their division.

The coach told us later that if he would have been at a larger conference competing school, he most certainly would have been all-county, and probably had scouts looking at him, but being on a 1-9 losing record small school sealed his sports career.
