Have 1 Big Object or Multiple Smaller Objects

Question

In Unity what's the best choice? Is it easier to work on having 1 large complex object (made in Blender) with multiple sub-objects (children) or to break the model apart (say by panels) and bring them in one by one.

For instance, 1 large case containing multiple panels or 1 Case Panel 1 with switches, gauges, dials etc Panel 2 with switches, gauges, dials etc Panel 3 with switches, gauges, dials etc etc.

or 1 Case Panel 1 Switch1 Switch2 Guage1 Guage2 Guage1_Needle Guage2_Needle

I'm just starting out and I get the feeling that the way I'm currently working, I'm setting myself up for failure.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer. I was/am hoping for an answer not so much as game performance, but more from a workflow/ease of development standpoint. Based on your answer and Graphics_Dev both appear to be leaning the same direction. I will give it a shot.

@SaurabhStudio This is the answer I was looking for, for anyone that comes after.

Basically, import piece by piece (the reason is polygon count) you want to keep it low.

However, Saura gets the reward (if I had any to give) as it was the only answer submitted.
