It takes a certain amount of electrical power to move any vehicle to a desired speed in a certain amount of time. Given that power=current*voltage, you can get that power with high V/low C or low V/high C. However, you get better efficiency with a higher voltage and lower current setup. And the batteries are stressed less as well since they aren't being run close to their max discharge value.

That said, you should go with the highest voltage that your ESC and motor will work with for best results.
