IMO, the larger the better. The most fun part of the game is grouping with a bunch of people and accomplishing something together. The smaller the group, the less complex the encounter.
The only thing that keeps regular T4 raiders still in game (other than pvp) is the hope that palace of cetriss will be worthwhile. If it isn't, you'll see a drop in population that will make the December 2011 Star Wars exit look like peanuts.
