Is the larger package better for SMD capacitors?
Is a capacitor with a greater package number better than a smaller package number capacitor with the same voltage and obviously same capacity?
For example, is it true that a 50 V, 100 nF X7R ±10% 1812 ...

What parameters to look at when comparing capacitors of same value but different package size
I'm looking at a capacitor that will be used as an output cap on a buck regulator. Looking at what I think is the same exact cap from TDK (10uF, 16V, X5R) but in an 0603 and an 0805 package.
Beyond ...

ESR and ESL, small package vs large (SMD)
I was wondering if someone could explain why larger package capacitors (1210) are supposed to have more ESL and ESR than a smaller - say 0603 package?
I would imagine the larger package is still ...
