Opinions on giant schnauzers vs miniatures?

Recently my miniature schnauzer named Buster has passed. He’s been with me since I was just a kid and now I’ve moved out and I’m living with my Fiancé who isn’t a fan of small dogs (Buster was an exception to him of course) I don’t know if I’d enjoy having a dog in the future that isn’t of the schnauzer breed so I’ve been thinking of a larger schnauzer vs a small one so maybe me and my fiancé can meet in the middle? We plan to have kids in the future however I don’t know much about giant schnauzers or anyone who has had both a miniature and a giant to tell me how different they are from each other with kids (and potentially cats)… if anybody can help out and give any advice or personal descriptions of what giant schnauzers are like opposed to minis it would be much appreciated! Thank you
