Lucky you to be able to choose from two great breeders! It sounds like both of these breeders are well respected and breed dogs with good health and conformation. As far as traits like height and fading, both reds and browns will fade, but the degree of fading can be genetic. I would look at the parent and grandparent dogs to get a good idea of what to expect years down the line in regard to both color and height. I doubt that red toys as a group are taller, but these particular dogs might tend to be on the larger side. The only thing I can say about reds is that it's seen as harder to produce good reds because the color is relatively new to the poodle breed and hasn't been perfected in conformation. So there's a viewpoint that the more classic colors have the best conformation. Of course when a breeder has reds that win against the blacks, then cheers to them for producing such nice quality red dogs. It sounds like both of your breeders have done very well competing in conformation.
I think you probably can't go wrong with either choice. I would say go with your heart. Whatever your decision is, don't look back after you commit to a pup. He/she will be perfect, no matter the color or size.
