Of course it depends on what you are after.  I was horrified to see prices
on 16" tires when I got them for my other vehicle (which came with 16"
rims).  Personally, I'd go with 15" because I want the biggest tire that
will fit, and would rather have rubber than rim make the difference.  I
realize that this may be counter to the stability/tracking/handling issue,
but I prefer to have more tire to flex off road.  And more reasonably priced
choices.
