In a shell and tube heat exchanger for a given heat transfer surface area, smaller diameter tubes are favoured as compared to larger diameter ones ; because the smaller diameter tubes

Are easier to clean
Are less prone to fouling
None of these
Can be fitted into a smaller shell diameter hence the cost of the heat exchanger would be less
