I prefer the large capacity of my 5G iPod because I want to spend as little time as possible managing files and pre-planning music selections. A simple sync puts everything there, no thinking or extra time required. Plus, if an unanticipated desire to listen to an obscure song comes up, it's there.

On the other hand, the larger size is definitely a compromise. If my primary purpose for an iPod was to listen to music while working out, for example, I'd be willing to make the compromise of having less storage for better portability.
