Does the size of my container matter?

I mean would I make a difference using a 5 gallon vs 10-20 gallon. Never did hydro and am thinking about setting up a second room to take some of the cuttings from my second round of topping, the best looking ones of course and putting them in another tent and doing dwc. Will it make a big difference using larger containers or should I just rock with 5 gallon?
 
The more volume of water, the more stable your pH, PPMs(EC), and water temperature will stay. You'd be even better using a few smaller sites and connect ting them to a reservoir(outside a tent if using one) or 5-10' from the grow if using a corner of a room.
Connect them all together with 2"ABS piping and bulkheads, near the bottom of the side of the containers. Then use a pump plumbed Into the Front of the res to supply a 3/4"PVC manifold that stretches the length needed to reach the middle of the farthest totes, then reduce to 1/2" at the branching off the 3/4" to the containers side wall as high as it can possibly be installed. This creates a waterfall at each plant and recirculates it back to the res through gravity and the 2" pipe. This is Waterfall RDWC and keeps your water moving and eliminates any need for Air Stones, Line, or Pumps.
 
That sounds dope as hell but maybe a little out of my league atm lol I was just curious because I’ve seen pics and videos of people with massive plants in 5 gallon buckets, would a 20 gallon bucket then in theory grow an even bigger plant?
