The bigger the pipe, the less restriction there will be. You wouldn't necessarily think water would have much friction against the inside of a pipe, but it does. There are charts that can tell you exactly how much based on pipe size, type,(pvc vs galv etc) pressure etc. I can't find my handy dandy "Pocket Reference", which btw, has every pice of information a man could possibly need when dealing with any number of subjects, but it tells about how things like Elbows are serious hampers to flow. For example a sharp 90deg elbow may create the same amount of friction loss as 10' of straight pipe, once again, based on pipe size, type etc. So, to summarise--- even though you may be running through a 5/8 valve(or whatever), larger pipe down stream will provide better flow at the end.
