For most situations, you can use either and it will work fine. They are mostly the same, but a little bit different in tone. "Big" and "bigger" are a little more casual. Also, when talking about numbers, "large/larger" are usually used: "I want to buy a big avocado." "I want to buy a large number of avocados" But this is not a rule.

I think they are generally interchangeable. Sometimes one will just sound better than the other but I can't think of a rule that you could memorize. You would need to give us examples and ask if they sound natural.
