26 inch is better. Much better supply of spare parts.
Nik is correct. 26" is more common especially if traveling in more remote areas.
This week I tested both 26 and 28 for about 20 km asphalt road;
1) My 26 bike was a good American Cannadel and my 28 was Merida.
It was much easier with 28!
The route was slope down and slope up.
Agreed 26 is the right choice.
