Which is better for undergrad history: a large research university or a small LAC. I know the LAC would probably be a better learning environment, but would having more choices of professors and courses be better?

Depends on what aspect of history you want to study. If you want to study a ho-hum subject like 20th century US history, then a LAC is great. If you want a more specialized area of history like Medieval or Islamic history, then a university would be a more reasonable choice.
