A decision on where you will do your articles is linked to your medium term career goals and the environment you will be comfortable in.
In case you want to start your own practice - join the firm you have an offer with - it will teach you technical skills but also managerial skills.
If you want to move to an industry role (say in finance or accounts), then apply to a larger firm. Your exposure to corporate culture, the opportunity to become a specialist are the benefits in a large firm.
