Electric motors high volts low amps vs low volts high amps
I have a little electric motor that im trying to use to spin a turn dial. 


You need to provide the specification of the motor and, ideally, a link to the datasheet for it. If you have none of those then show a photo with a ruler for scale and explain where the motor was found.


  What would be better high volts and low amps or low volts high amps?


You need to decide whether you want to run the motor at constant speed or at constant torque.


For constant speed you need to supply a constant voltage from a supply that can supply the maximum current required at that speed.
