Depends, what kind of compound are we talking about?
Both low and high molecular mass. =P
It can vary, generally anything with $M_r$ > 300 is better suited to HPLC as anything with $M_r$ > 300 will not readily turn into gas (i.e it is not volatile) thus not suited to GC

Is there any other information?
