I'd suggest 20" if you're a crotch-worrier, or 22" if you're not. I
would ride an 18" myself, and you're about a foot taller than me.

Since all of the sizes have the same steerer length, the bigger sizes
will let you get the bar higher without so many unsightly spacers, but
the bar/saddle/pedal relationships won't necessarily be any different
from one size to the next.
