Which Capture format is best?

Capture One windows v3.7.3 lists 4 different options for Capture format in the Preferences > Capture Options tab:

-- Raw - Compatable with 3.1 (tif)
-- IIQ Raw - Large (.tif)
-- IIQ Raw - Small (.tif)
-- Raw - Compatable with 3.0 (.Capture)

Only the middle two are available on the P45 when untethered.

So, if I typically shoot IIQ Large when untethered, is there any reason not to choose that when tethered?

  There is an explanation in the knowledge base explaining about the differences in formats.
  Here is the link:

  Thanks. Yes, I understand what the IIQ formats are.
  
  My question is based on the fact that when I open the Preferences window in Capture One v3.7.3, the Capture format field is set to \"Raw - Compatible with 3.1 (tif)\".
  
  I would have expected the default to be set to \"IIQ Raw - Large (tif)\". So, since it isn't, I'm left to wonder if there's a reason. And, since the manual doesn't mention this setting, I turned to this group.
  
  So the question remains - is there any reason NOT to set the Capture format to IIQ Large?

  I searched the forum and found a answer from Ulf, one of the guys from Phase One, here is the link to the thread:

  Ph1_user. Again, I understand the difference between IIQ large and small. That is not the question I'm asking.
  
  I appreciate your attempt to help but you're answering a question that I'm not asking (twice).

  Michael,
  
  

  Only the middle two are available on the P45 when untethered.
  
  So, if I typically shoot IIQ Large when untethered, is there any reason not to choose that when tethered?

  
  
  
  No - No Reason. Shoot tethered to IIQ RAW - Large
