Smaller engines are more efficient but have lower thrust. They're a better choice if your rocket is light enough to lift, but efficiency won't do you any good if your rocket can't get off the pad. Heavier rockets will need the more powerful, less efficient engines.
I suspect the reason high thrust rockets are not really a very good choice is the extreme thickness of the Kerbal atmosphere at low altitude. Even extremely high levels of thrust won't get you moving very much faster than a much less powerful rocket, most of the energy is just bled off by drag. The aerodynamics of KSP are quite strange indeed, just witness the wall you run into if your orbit dips below 35km.
You might be right, but if the simplest rockets it the most efficient, you might as well not build larger ones

True, however the medium fuel engine is WAY more powerful than the normal once. Also the new big fuel engine is way less powerful than the normal one. With powerful I mean it reaches way higher speeds/altitude with the powering the same rocket

These new parts are over powered :-X.
I just snapped 4 medium sized fuel rockets and 4 long tanks (1.08) to my commandpod/SAS and it allowed me to reach escape velocity EASILY (4500m/s) straight up.
This 11 part rocket goes faster and further than my 10-stage rocket from the default KSP :
Wobbly rockets - Now 1.09 - 2 metre parts, verniers, payload fairings, MUCH more

The 4x fuel burner engine also can't support much weight
Btw, can you fix it so you can only attach something one way on the decoupler? Now if you put it 1cm too high it'll explode
