Do they not go hand in hand? Maybe not in every instance, but competition is generally good for consumers. So I don't know why this is a choice.

If the cost to start up a new company is relatively low , a monopoly can be forced to keep its prices low with the advantage of economy of scale.

Are you referencing the difference between the pre-Chicago School Brown Shoe rationale of protecting small businesses vs the post-1970s consumer welfare rationale? Because it's a little more complex than serving one goal or the other.
