[Closed] Gear ratios; rear cassette cog options

Probably been asked before but I am looking at options for 10sp rear cassettes; 11-32/11-34/11-36.
As a girl I confess that I occasionally appreciate the 34 and 36 rings (I'm always behind him, so he doesn't know).
But is there any advantage to man up and get the 11-32? Is it just about less of a jump between cog sizes?
Thanks.

Yes, just smoother up and down the range. If you need the bail-out occasionally I'd see that as a bigger advantage.

Unless you are racing I'd always pick the largest total range over smaller steps, it'll keep you moving comfortably more of the time.

Even for racing I'd choose the widest possible range!
