I've had the small, RV specific units and the bigger 1 and 2 gallon tanks. Any combination works great to quell the vibrations and noise and smooth out the water flow, even the little one.
Using the larger tanks will cause the pump to run-on some while it replenishes the lost volume. You get that time back when you first turn on the faucet the next time.
One nice thing about the larger 1 or 2 gallon tanks is that you can flush the toilet a great number of times without the pump kicking on. With a two gallon tank and the pump off, I could flush it 17 times before the pressure and volume was exhausted.
So if you have people getting up at night, it works out very nicely.
