You need to ask the mfgrs about suitability of each prop for your engine/airframe. No two mfgrs rate their pitch measurements the same.
Having said that... Given equal blade count, a cruise-optimized larger diameter prop (within reason) will likely outclimb the smaller diameter cruise-optimized, without affecting top speed (at typical RV speeds).
I flew a 72" dia prop (original Bernie Warnke) on a short legged -4. Climbed great, and easily met Van's spec'd cruise numbers.
I'm currently flying a 68" dia wood Sensenich. Cruise is good, but takeoff & climb are abysmal. To be fair, I bought the prop used & don't know if it was recut/modified from its original configuration. The current owner of that -4 I mentioned installed a Sensenich wood after a runway light incident, and achieved the same speeds as the old Warnke.
FWIW,
