I would start with the smaller because it's a lot easier to make it bigger. What is the size of the fire box to chamber opening? It looks small from what I think I see.
First of all what a build! Workmanship is outstanding. On the pits on the exterior, I had the same problem and just could not see away to clean it up. I sand blasted it and painted it with Black Stain Heat paint and it really looked neat. The sand blasting smooth the pits and it look good to...
Diameter vs Length? I am not sure what he means. When I build a smoker make sure I follow the BBQ Template. This ensures the temperature stays constant and the TBS moves properly over the meat and out of the smoking chamber.

I would see if you could find someone close to you that builds smokers as a hobby. These builders seem to be cheaper and you will get one that will last for ever if you keep care of it.
