This is not an opinion based on academic practice, but on general writing principles: If you think that the typical reader is going to want to read the table when they get to it, include it inline since it creates an inconvenience to the reader to have to go look for it in the appendix. If you think the typical reader is not going to want to read the table when they get to it in the text, put it in an appendix since it is inconvenient for the reader to skip over something they are not going to read. In other words, design your text to minimize the number of hops, skips, and jumps the typical reader will have to make to read your text. Things that only a few readers will want, or that a typical reader might want only occasionally, should be out of line. Everything else should be inline.
