Answer:

Large wheel

Step-by-step explanation:

A larger wheel is easier to use, and its easier to make precise adjustments than with a small wheel.

A large wheel would be easier...a smaller wheel would require more revolutions to accomplish the same direction shift that a larger wheel would...and this would be ergonomically better also...it would alleviate having to make so many turns to accomplish the same direction.
