I'm with Minn on this 100%. I use the 16X6 and 16X4 on mine.
The rule of thumb is the longer the prop with less pitch=more thrust with less speed. Shorter the prop with more pitch=more speed and less thrust.
I like my planes to fly slower but when I point them up I like them to pull as much as they can.
Good luck!!
