I use a graphics tablet most of the time as a pointing device. I
generally set the active area to about a quarter of the actual tablet,
about 1.5" X 2". This means that I can span the screen without moving
my hand. I don't really use it for drawing so I don't use it at the
highest resolution. I'd go for the smaller or buy a cheap second hand
one to try it.
