it's all about your own perf. The smallest instance on Aamzon is a real lousy configuration. Would do for configuring and setting up your site. From reading around the web and testing it myself using some simple load tests we found that the next level, the medium size seems to be the best value for money. Just take into account that the 32bit and 64bit have different roles so transition is not automatic and you need to separately configure a 64bit role in order to launch one. So - moving from small to medium requires nothing but going to large and extra large needs its own roles.
