Tuners - 3/8" vs 1/2"

On a custom build I can go either size. Does either size have a particular advantage? All thoughts welcome....

Smaller may=lighter, which might mean a slight decrease in neck-dive tendencies. I like the look of big old Fender-style keys, but I don't know of any obvious advantage to one or the other. Smaller might also work better for 5-6 & more strings due to taking less space.
