Hi - separate from your main question, in general I have a "better feeling" about netmat analysis from the 50 and 200 node datasets than the other options. Please don't ask me to defend that (or be correct about it!) - because it's just a gut feeling from having played with the datasets a lot.
Wrt your main question - if your final analysis involves any cross-subject modelling, then the analysis is *likely* to be most limited by subject variability - and as a result probably the single most important thing to maximise is subject numbers. More generally, I would say you should aim to use all the data (subjects), even if you have to wait a bit longer for the results!
