Suppose I only need a 2 farad capacitor, but get a 5 farad one. What are the thoughts on this?

Besides wasting trunk space and money? Not that much benefit. Capacitor only stores energy and whatever's stored, it'll get sucked up by the amp in a sec.

no major advantages, no real drawbacks, operationally speaking.

not particularly.
it makes money for companies selling them to people who are too poor or cheap to upgrade their alternators usually.
