Really depends how much stuff you'll have and your personal preference.. However, it's rare to see the subcompacts at Avis (Hyundai Accent/Kia Rio, typically) so I'd think there's a good chance of actually getting a compact if you rent just a subcompact. Not guaranteed, though, so don't base you decision on definitely getting a free upgrade.

For the past 10 years I have been struggling to get a subcompact with Avis, sometimes it is hard to even get a compact. However, this past year they are now starting to show up and I frequently get a Mini or a Fiat that I love. In both SF or LA you should now be able to find one. There is no way I would upgrade to a compact, although the subs are my preference.
