I find that the younger age ranges tend to be the most competitive (as in higher scores at the top places). If you want to win more medals w/ lower scores, being on the older side is where that's at - but long term it's really not about medals in the lower levels and depending on your kid's personality, they may be more motivated by competing in lower age a higher level even when they don't get as many awards (provided skills are there of course).
