Format size does matter. I own 35mm, the 67 and a 6X9 field camera. I have not owned the 645, but have considered it on a number of occasions.
The 67 will produce wonderful images but can disappointment due to vibrations caused by the mirror (solved with MLU) and shutter vibrations (most noticeable when using short exposure times).
The 645 system is much more modern with built in features that are more advanced than what is available for the 67. That aside, format size does matter.
Do you plan to process and print the negatives? Do you plan to use a film scanner and print the images digitally? Choice of methods and equipment matter as much as choice of camera.
Personally, I am rapidly approaching retirement and look forward to a far less hectic life style that what I presently enjoy. I will return to traditional photography and my main tool will be my trusty Horseman VHR and, of course my 67. I own 2 dedicated film scanners that cover 35mm up to 6X9. I am really looking forward to getting back into it.
So, the choice will be yours. Fully take in account how and what you plan to do and make your decisions. I certainly wish you all the best but, be forewarned, you will have a mountain to climb. Success will be your ultimate reward but it will come at some cost.
