The Important fact from where I sit/stand with regards to rotating space stations to mimic gravity , is that the speed of the rotation would depend on the diameter of the outer wheel, and as such, the rotational speed would need to be high if the diameter was not large enough, and perhaps unmanageable,
So any future space station that would like to have 1G at the rim, would need to be fairly large diameter.
