It all depends on what is harder to him. I personally am 235#s and was a football lineman back in high school so I don't need more muscle, but I need alot of cardio. So high cadence riding is what I need to do.
True to a point and depends on the person's natural musculature too. However slightly higher gearing and cadence is the key unless very unfit. Low gear/high cadence is only useful surely on a sustained incline or hill?
