Larger diameter is more accurate. When I was in the market for one, folks pointed me to sites online where you can download and print your own. I didn't have access to a printer/plotter and stiff media so I bought an inexpensive 11" wheel.

More important than the degree wheel is the crank socket. I got a socket that fits the Olds crank snout, stays in place with a setscrew, and has a separate retainer nut for the wheel. You can easily reset the wheel to match TDC, and the socket lets you turn the motor without disturbing the wheel.
