Looks like you've got lots of votes for the LT and I'll second that, but with one caveat. Make sure your feet fit. I built a 16LT for my SO and I really like the lower profile and flatter rear deck. Unless you need lots of room for gear, it's the way to go. At 6', 140 lbs. I am quite comfortable in the 16 except for my size 11 1/2 feet. An extra couple inches of deck height would sure be nice.
