Depends on how long the straights are. If they are fairly short 14, medium 15, and if they are pretty long and you get into 5th then go with a 16. They are fairly cheap so buy both and experiment.

I don't think you should go below 14t, I was running a 14t and the gearing was very short, then I got 18" tires and it was EXTREMELY short gearing..as in I got into 5th gear on my TRAILS. So I switched to a 15t and it seems just perfect. With your mods, I don't think a 15t is a problem....14t you will be going through the gears WAY too fast and that leaves you with nothing.
