If you're doing much field hunting and it's relatively clean ground AND your arm can handle a little more weight, the large coil will buy you an extra two inches or so. My sites tend to be trashy, so the 5x8 has been ideal for me due to it's outstanding target discrimination. I'm not too scientific on depths, but I regularly dig targets in the 6" - 9" range, sometimes more if it's moist and the soil is open. If you're hunting old homesites, a lot of the guys really like the small coil for picking through the iron.

I use the 8.5x11" coil for Civil War relics in the woods and fields where trash isn't a big factor, it does add a 1" or 2 " in depth. When I use it I run all metal so I know I'm getting max depth I've dug bullets over 10" using this setup. I am now looking at also adding a NEL Tornado coil for relic hunting.
