Throughput is (mostly) a function of channel size, modulation, and signal to noise ratio. Coverage is (mostly) a function of frequency, radiated power, obstacles, and signal to noise ratio. Other than in the bowels of large buildings, coverage shouldn't be an issue in most urban areas.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that it’s become a wavelength problem at this point with 4G in high-density areas. 5Gs shorter but higher in spectrum wavelength will need more nodes per square kilometer but have a much higher limit to its bandwidth ceiling. I believe the numbers I saw

Obviously if the technology is available, works well, and is reasonably priced, 5G it up. However, if you're adding small cells every 500', tripling the amount of "towers" you have... does it matter much if it's LTE or NR? You're adding hundreds of megs if not gigs of capacity with LTE.
