Wheel size considerations

What are teams thinking of in terms of wheel size and style? Larger (e.g. 12 inch) wheels have a shorter wheel base due to the need to have their centers closer together, but allow for lower kicking mechanisms while still having enough clearance to go over the bump-- specifically due to the smaller wheel base.
