Default RE: Long servo arms or short control horns?

I may have not been clear with my question.

I understand the physics involved. My question is based on the same amount of throw, one using a very long servo arm and shorter control horns and one using medium length servo arm and very short control horn. You would end up with the same amount of throw. I will give you an example of my problem, (these are random figures and I am not sure if they would even be accurate).

Lets say I need 2" of elevator throw,..... I could use a 2" servo arm with a 1" control horn and achieve my desired 2" of travel.... or .....I could use a 1" servo arm and 1/2" control horn and get the same 2" of travel.

Which way would you do it and why?
