For trials definitely a 20". And for a person 5'5", even more so.

Depends on what you were doing. For hopping high of course it would,
it's just a question of to what extent. Technique is the main factor
though.

nearly every trials/street type trick would be easier on a 20 inch.
lighter, smaller, bigger crank/wheel ration making it easier to roll out
of tricks. harder to get speed, but you should be able to get plenty of
speed anyway.
