The sage advice is to build the smallest boat that will do the job. You
probably will seldom take a large group, but make going solo difficult with
the longer hull.
What I'm saying is that 90% of the time or more the smaller boat will be
better for you (and no boat will ever be right 100% of the time).

Do you think that the longer boat would be much more difficult to sail solo?
Launching and trailering would be more difficult but the actual sailing part.
