It depends ....
If I am fishing a stream and fishing for minnow feeding trout I might think 1 1/2 " is about medium, and 2" is substantial (but not too big in a big river).
I would be happy with the little 1 1/2" plug to be a flashy silver or gold. The 2" plug being more visible, unless water is very coloured, I would prefer it to have a natural minnow or trout or perch type finish.
On the other hand if I am trolling in a big lake for 5 pounders then a 5" minnow stickbait is no problem for those trout to lunch on.
