It all depends on size of tank and what other fish you have. And what you want to get out of the fish. If you want to see it grow from small to big and see it every step of the way, you should get the small.

Size is only an issue with tank mates, it has nothing to do with health. The small captive bred blue tangs that enter the hobby that are only a inch or so long are only 4 months old (same with wild caught). The key with parasites like ich, is preventing it from entering your tank in the first place. Asking how a fish will handle ich based on size is the wrong way of looking/dealing with ich/parasite issues. Buy or add fish to a tank based on the tank you have, not the tank you think you might have in the future. This will prevent a lot of headaches and frustration in the future.

It also depends on the size of the fish you already have in the tank. You want to get the same size. If there’s no fish than get the size according to the size of your tank.
