Squash tails have a slightly bigger tail outline, which means more volume, plus it's longer and thicker than your thumb tail, so will paddle easier. The smaller board will be eaiser to kick around for fun slides and cutbacks, also easier to duckdive.

So, I say the squash for small surf, mushy waves (even big ones) and overhead+ surf, the thumb for chest to head/overhead waves, dredging waves and walled up waves and for easier duckdiving situations.

Just MHO
