Well 15 and 17 have a greater availability of tire choices for both sport tires and track tires. Although a lot of members here run FD's (16" rims), they are often run with too large a tire or tires that break most members budgets.

Personally, I would run 15's because of the available sizes. Something like a 225/50R15 for track would be my ideal choice for size and weight. But others prefer running 235/40R17 or 225/50R16 (too large compared to stock).
