Big does not necessarily mean deep or rough water. The BM musso style wadd runs right on top. As for their large Gibbs style, I've only fished an eelskin version and that doesn't strike me as a deep running plug.
The disadvantage of heavy medium needles like the BM that cost a lot is that you need to plan on losing several each year.
For all needles, it is more the ratio of tail to front weight that determines where it runs. Heavily tail weighted needles cast far but plane quickly to the top because of the angle they sit in the water. More balanced stuff (like afterhours) that sinks at less of an angle tends to run more level at whatever depth you chose to start your retrieve.
