am a big fan of many small communities; however, theres small and then theres small...what you describe no girls your daughter's age does not sound like a good idea in fact that is often a reason people in small communities move to bigger communities.
And sounds like a set up for your daughter who does currently like her school -- so id keep her in the school she likes. When that works for the kids it is gold. Cannot be underestimated.
Especially when weighed with the other factors you mention. From what you write Id go with the bigger community.
You say your husband would be happy in either and sounds like your daughter would be more guaranteed to be happy in the bigger one.

So when I say small, I'm talking about a community that has just about 50 families and there is only one shul. There are a few girls in the community around my daughter's age but none are in her grade. My daughter would have to commute to school in either community. But the larger community has girls that are currently in her class. The small community means no shabbos playdates with girls in her class because no one in her grade lives in the community, or at least not yet.
