A low G string works better for me on finger picking and when trying to follow the melody. Since the tone is lower, it will not be as resonate on a smaller uke. I have bought 2 ukes that came with low G's, both tenors. For just strumming, the high G sounds more "normal" because that's what the vast majority of ukes come with and what I have mostly heard. Most tab is written for high G, so if you are playing from tab it will often sound wrong. I also suggest you try it and see what you like.
