She has big eyes, sounds like a compliment to me, if you mean to compliment someone, i guess you better use this one instead of the other, that sounds like a criticism.

'Big' is more typical of casual speech.

I think a woman would prefer the slightly more formal and more thoughtful -sounding 'large'.
