A large loop does receive more signal, but will also receive more
noise/interference. You should optimize for best signal to noise
ratio. Often, larger does not mean better....
you can move around to find the sweet spot/orientation for best
reception. You can use whatever insulated copper wire to make the
loop.

Thanks
