Basically, the grip you select will be the one that conforms to your hand the best. If you go too small, you'll blister up easily, but you can always apply an overgrip, as most players do anyway. If you go too big, you'll lose power and control, and you can never decrease the size. I always suggest going smaller and building up if need be. You will also need to regrip your rackets, so if you go too large, this will be impossible.
The head has more length, so if you are a serve and volley player, this will help you when trying to pickup shots at your feet, or lunging out wide towards attempted passing shots. If you are a baseliner, stick with the shorter racket.
The larger head size will increase power, while the smaller will improve control. However, both are oversized, so you will have less control and more power. Basically, if you tend to hit a lot in the net, you'll need a larger head size...If you tend to hit balls into the back fence, go with a standard sized head: 95 to 100 inches.
Hope this helps!
