Default RE: large or small prop?

A Cessna 747????

Generally smaller diameter/larger pitch will give more speed while larger diameter/lower pitch will provide more "pull". It's kind of like the difference between a Corvette in top gear on the open road and a truck in the lowest gear pulling a load up a hill. Both utilize the engine power in different ways to achieve different goals.
