I would go with the smaller traps. Last year my neighbor and I had two limits in my pot the hand first pull.

A "friend" borrowed the pot on a day I was working. He had a gasser and broke it off at the boat. ARGH!

The the pot was pretty well done rusting out. Fished better than any new pot? Ripping the lid off was a sad way to go. At least the shrimp were able to get a free meal.
