Cohomology of Grothendieck topology

My naïve cartoon picture of the construction of étale cohomology is this: start with a scheme, associate to it a Grothendieck topology (making a site). A functor from the Grothendieck topology to ...

difference between the small and big étale/flat/... site

What is the difference between the small and the big étale (or flat or syntomic or ...) site? How does the cohomology vary? When should I use which one? Up to now, I have always used the small sites.
