Bob,
I may be wrong, but what I remember (preciously little....) from Engineering school:
Line-size should not matter on the pressure - less loss if anything.
Up-side: Bigger lines mean, less flow-speed, more volume - added heat buffer, less friction, less loss in the turns.
Down-side: Bigger lines cost more, are heavier, so is the add. oil in the lines
 
After all, ...if I am not wrong somewhere, I would go with the biggest practical line possible.
If a 10 fits, a 10 it would be!
