wide plank vs standard random size hardwood

In our new build I am deciding between 2 hardwood floors. The first one, which has been my fav, is from Shaw. It's Grand Canyon Bright Angel Hand scraped hickory and that is the wide plank. The second one I like is Appalachian Colonial Manor hobnail hickory hand scraped, but this one is in the random standard sizes 4", 3" and 2 1/2" I believe.

I have never had real hardwood installed before, so I am new to making this decision. I have read about cupping, but is there anything else I should consider in choosing the wide or standard size? I do like the look of the wide plank better, but it is more expensive. The kitchen and family room are open to each other, so there is good space.

Thanks so much
