slip joint spring question

Looking at the construction of a slip joint there are two basic choices for creating the tension on the spring. You can have a thick spring and place the center peened point farther away from the pivot/locking point, or you can have the peen point closer to the pivot but have a thinner spring. Is there a definite preference as to which is better.

Thanks
Steve
