It would make no difference with borderline power, but, with bigger engines and low stall speeds the higher pitches produce too much thrust even at very low RPM's sometimes to land in a confined space. You just keep flying running out of runway. Bigger prop lower pitch same rpm same speed the plane slows and lands quickly.

The average guy lets the nose drop a little which makes this problem even worse.
