Get the 20", you'll regret the 16" in like 10 minutes after getting it.

I didn't even know they had 16" trials til' now...probably because I
would never consider getting a 16"...

EDIT: i might get like a 12" or smaller just for the novelty of
it...with a flat crown so i can coast and stuff+it's not totally
useless...

I'm not sure that would manuver any better than a 20"-which can turn on
a dime+has a higher to pedal hop........and possibly more spring in the
tire...and rides about 25% faster...
the most a 16" would help with hopping might be a slightly decreased
weight...and that really would be less than the difference between a
torker dx and a KH...

Do not get a 16" unicycle. They're made for little kids.

I'm your age, about 5 feet tall, and I can ride any size of unicycle in
production. Don't worry about your height - get the 20".

You will utterly regret getting a 16". Look at pictures of any trials
rider out there. Do you see any of them riding 16 inchers? No.
