Confused Newbie with Crate Question

This is my first pet EVER! Trying to do the right thing and get all my research done before the November arrival of Josie, our Beiwer Yorki. I will have numerous questions in the days that follow, but let me start with a Crate question.

We have one of the tiny plastic airline type crates made for a yorkie to try and crate train. I still have the receipt if needed to return, because our gracious neighbor said we could borrow her crate to save some $$. They have a Schi-poo. Their crate is 26" x 18.5" x 16 high, and of course mine is about half that.

I read that you want to go tiny so they can't do their business in one corner and sleep in the other. At the same time, like most, I feel guilty making him stay in that tiny yorkie carrier, maybe he would enjoy the extra room?

Should I Keep my tiny one, or return it and use the slightly bigger one. Anyone use a bigger one and not had luck crate training?

Also, Is the plastic one ok, or should I go Metal wire one?

Thanks
