I tried both and currently use one big file.
The disadvantages are: sirupy load times and impractical exporting into
multiple files, like multiple HTML pages, in one go (Texinfo saves the
day, but is limited).
The advantages are: simple navigation (headings versus headings and
files), fast agenda (to the point of being usable), simple agenda (no
need to maintain the list of agenda files), good tangling (concatenation
works across headings but not across files), and more.

I use speed commands [*] and `org-goto' configured as follows:
(with-eval-after-load 'org
(setq org-goto-interface 'outline-path-completion
org-goto-max-level 100
org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil))
The key is to make everything you might want to search for or jump to
into a heading. With that, Org shines, being an outliner.
[*] Beware: Speed commands do not work reliably in macros; they will
screw up your document behind your back! (CC-ing Ihor WRT this.)
