Is this going to be a display tank or frag tank?

If display tank , I would definitely go with the 16" high option as you will have a bigger display to enjoy. I would go with 18" high if you have the option, even 16" is a little shallow for a display tank imo. You will also be able to have taller rock structures, and more length/height for the fish to swim.

If using as a frag tank I would go with the 12" high option, as you will be able to fit more frags with a bigger footprint. You will be limited in how many/type of fish you can keep long term with this option.

Really depends on how you intend to use the tank.
