Hit detection doesn't depend on the model. There's an invisible box 
around the actual model that is used for hit detection, and this box is 
the same size no matter which model you use.

A good explaination is here:

Of course, using models/skins that are harder to see, might be an 
advantage.  But I don't think most servers allow custom models or skins 
anyway.  And you can force your opponents to appear with a model/skin of 
your choice if that makes then easier to hit for you.  Use cg_forceModel 
to do this.
