The answers you've gotten are good - bigger is better. But, make sure you watch the size of the bar spacing on the cage. Sometimes the bigger cages have more space between the bars because they're designed for birds that are the size of a cockatiel and up. A cockatiel cage would be fine for a budgie, but a parrot cage would not. I'd suggest keeping the bar spacing to about 1/4 inch. I rescue birds and have heard horror stories about budgies and other small birds strangling themselves trying to get out of the cage. Make sure you get a cage that is appropriately designed for the type of bird you're getting. Also, the coated wire cages are easier to clean if you have that option. Your bird will spend most of its time higher in the cage so keep that in mind too. sometimes wider cages are better than taller - they give more room in the end.

A is good enough for a budgie. Enough room and everything, but when you are buying cages, bigger is always better.

The birdie will be in the cage most of it's life, so, which would you prefer, living in your room or in your closet.

Cheers.

My budgie loves the bigger cage I just got for him! So I say the bigger cage will be best!

I would get a bigger one. Then if you decide to get another one you ll have enough space for both. If you are still trying to decide on just the right one for the birds and your needs - get an inexpensive much smaller one (Read below) and this will give you time. And it can always come in handy for trips to the Vet when needed or even for traveling.
