hmm 45ci.... your choice but i would say get a 68ci simply because it holds more air but its up to you buddy.

Definitely get a fibrewrap bottle rather than a steel bottle, as the weight difference is huge.
As motocross boy has already said, 68ci (1.1litre) bottles seem to be the most popular choice as it provides enough air for around 1000+ shots and doesn't weigh a huge amount.
Depending on your position when playing, a 45ci will most likely be to small. The last thing you want when you are playing, is to run out of air.

different tanks vary........ but dxs are the lightest i think apart from a stako which i would advise you to stay away from.

not sure about sending it back but by to big do you mean to bulky or do you mean too long?

and where you planning on getting it from?

lips may let you return it but not sure so call them first to check.
and one more thing....if you buy it of here you would save ALOT of money.
