One bike I am considering has a 16"/15" the others are 18"/15" wheels. I too prefer good feedback especially in the front. The rear not so much, but stability and durability is important. The 17s just have so many choices on width, aspect ratio and compounds.

As for squat, you folks definitely have the experience edge to figure out how much squat/anti-squat geometry might be acceptable/required for say 20hp and 4" of travel.
I'll have to experiment with Tony Foales software to gain a better understanding of what might work well.
