large scale for small target to see fine detail. Go with the city.
Let's say a map of Albuquerque covers a 9 inch by 12 inch piece of paper. It has a scale of somewhere around 1 inch = 2 miles. That's a pretty large scale map.
If your scale is greater than one, your map is bigger than the place you are mapping :)
