A smaller wheel will have less rotational inertia - it will be easier to get it spinning. A smaller wheel will also make the overall length of the bike shorter - an advantage during storage. A smaller wheel will also be proportionally stronger sideways - which is an advantage during hard riding. The downside of all this though is that a small bump in the road will be a proportionally bigger obstacle than for a bigger wheel, which makes the ride harsher. If you're a really fast rider the smaller wheel will offer a lower top gear ratio than a bigger wheel, which will either limit your top speed or force you to get custom chainwheels to compensate.
