It seems as if real estate on both newfound and winnisquam is pretty affordable especially when you compare similar properties with what's available on the big lake. I personally like Winnisquam more as it is a much larger lake (Almost double the acreage if I remember correctly) and is very, very easy to navigate. In just about all areas, staying to the center of the lake is safe. There are plenty of nice little areas to drop anchor for watersports and a handful of different towns that have land on Winnisquam so tax valuation and available properties will differ.

Time for a shameless plug...My wife is a real estate agent and we're located in Gilmanton, southern area of the lakes region so if you don't yet have an agent and are interested please feel free to message me on here for her contact information.

Whatever you end up with, I'm sure you'll enjoy it...Lakefront property is awesome no matter where it is.
