if I make a smaller batch do I really need to put it into a smaller set of carboys (either plastic or glass?)

You don't need too, when it's fermenting it will blow out the extra air with CO2. If you're going to secondary/bright tank/store it then you will need something with less headspace.
by that logic wouldn't giving the beer a shake when it is done being racked into teh secondary do the same thing? I mean once the airlock shows bubbles it's pushed out the "bad air" right?
I am very confused by this topic.
Do I need to worry about my stout 2.5 gal in my 5 gal primary.
I wasnt plannig on a secondary and never gave any thought to air.
