I have both 1 11/16 and 1 3/4 widths. I never really thought about it until I started playing my first guitar with a 1 11/16 a lot. When I went back to 1 3/4 I started 'missing' strings by just a small amount. It took awhile before I realized it was the nut width. I can now move between the two (3 actually, my 12 string is 1 13/16) without much trouble.
Given my choice I would choose the 1 3/4. It is more comfortable for me and I have small hands.
