So I was wondering whether the techniques of Aikido or Judo would be a better fit for taller people or people with high centers of gravity.

IMO, Ian was dead on with his previous answer where he wrote:
Your body will almost always define the limits of what you can do with any particular technique within that art, but I'm not aware of any special benefits of body type other than big+strong > small+weak.
Regards,
