Best way to configure hose for dust collector?

Picked up a smaller portable dust collector (Shop fox 1727) to use in my garage. I don't plan on plumbing the whole garage, just hooking the dust collector up to whatever I'm using at the moment. The biggest port on any of my tools is 2.5", the inlet on the dust colllector is 4". Should I run 4" hose with reducers or should I reduce the hose size at the dust collector and run a smaller hose? I'm assuming 4" necked down at the tool would be the better option but I wanted to check to be certain. Thanks!
