Depends on the sound you want. Do you want to hear the room + guitar, or only the guitar?

For home recording, I am a fan of close-miking, which takes the room (and it's sound) mostly out of the equation. Unless you won the acoustic lottery and happen to have a fantastic sounding room at home, you will always be limited by the sound of the room. I therefore will 'recreate' ambience/room sound AFTER recording.

If you want to just get the recording without post-production, then the larger space will generally work better. A 7.5 ft x 7.5 ft room is small and likely the sonic character that imparts will not help your sound.
