Without know what type of woodworking you do or plan to do, it is hard to make a suggestion. If you plan to do a lot of resawing and the motor isn't going to over price the saw, bigger is better. The 14" will suit most general woodworking needs and allow some resawing.

I have a 20" saw and would like to have a smaller saw as changing out that giant blades are a pain. I'd get rid af the 18".

Continue shopping until you locate a 20" bandsaw in excellent condition.
