Bigger bar?

 

As long as it lands in the right place what's the issue?

I use the bigger bar.

 

Just looks crap cutting..

smaller saw to make some guide marks for the larger bar to sit in? i usually scar the back with the chain to make a guideline for the back cut so it can be followed from both sides

It's an issue when you want control .

Hinge is key so if you have cuts that don't meet up, you might have to cut more of the hinge as the wedges or natural lean that you are using is getting restricted.

sharp even saw, that's cutting straight and practice.
