Got a bike that you had done some suspension work on . Was a 1990 DR350S. Was good friends with a warranty manager for the factoy and his boss. I ended up buying it off the factory. Rode the bike for 35k to which none were easy miles.
We don't have Drew's deep understanding of it all but hydraulics all basically work the same so we'll take a stab at answering. A bigger piston (shock, brake master cylinder) will move more fluid in a shorter distance. A smaller piston moves less fluid in that distance. The smaller the piston the great the sensitivity and feel, but the less absolute power. So you want your brake master cylinder / or shock piston / or fork pistons sized appropriately for what you are trying to do with it.

I have a question. Does a bigger piston perform better than smaller on rear shocks?
