in this case bigger is always better, the thing is that by "bigger" when talking about weapons you are always referring to range, not size.

As a maiden, Cinder's range is nearly infinite as long as she uses magic, so to use daggers implies she is trying not to use magic at all and likely carrying the daggers rather than making them as she did with swords and bow, it is much easier to conceal 2 daggers than 2 swords in such an outfit, and more subtle to stab them suddenly rather than creating the weapon first.
