Well the game play different on different levels and map sizes. I always liked to play small maps on hard for a decent game. A small map on impossible is a tough one, especially if you run into the 64k ship bug.
Medium size on impossible is good game, but that is sill a lot of planets. Small maps on hard can be lost to votes, if you get a bad mix of races. Humans especially may get an early vote. I often have to fight those at final war.
