    Pippin has given a good answer.

    Profile rails can take a surprisingly high load for their size, but it's often easier to use larger rails. Smaller rails generally involve smaller fasteners which can be a bit of a pain to deal with. IIRC 15mm will mostly use 5mm fasteners, which can be a bit 'delicate' to drill/tap/tighten.
