Larger diameter supports more volume but at a lower pressure.
If you want to run 3/4" it's not a problem but the standard for sink and bath supply lines is 1/2".
You can run 3/4 from the supply and reduce them to 1/2 above the valve and into the faucet.
3/4 ball valves tend to last longer and be more controllable (if you want to use them to throttle the volume) so that would be the primary reason to do the 3/4 inlet to 1/2 outlet.
Sharkbites are the cat's ass! What's best with them is being able to adapt from copper to PVC with no problem.
