Had to pick between a 3/8 inch and a 1/2 inch bull float for a big garage slab

Honestly, I was doing a 30 by 40 foot garage floor last month and the crew was split. Half wanted the 3/8 inch because it's lighter and faster. The other half, me included, wanted the 1/2 inch for the extra weight to really press down the aggregate. We went with the 1/2 inch. Tbh, it was a bit more work to push, but the finish was way tighter with almost no rock pockets. Has anyone else had to make that call on a big pour? What did you go with?

How thick was your slab? I'd always pick the heavier float for a bigger pour.

Lighter float gets the job done just fine though...
