I grow just about every Colocasia in full sun. You may be able to get larger leaves in part shade but I find that humidity in the air plays a large roll for Colocasia leaves. Full sun in KY is not the same as full sun in Arizona the lack of humidity can dry the leaves up and burn them to a crisp. Here in Ky we can get over 100 but the humidity usually stays very high so the leaves tend to not burn. In shady areas their is less chance of this burning and the leaves expand to larger size for light.
You should be fine with just about every form in full sun. Though they may be slightly larger in partial shade I also find that the colors are deeper in full sun rather than shady areas dark's are darker and lighter ones are brighter.
