    15s for many reasons.
    
    They look better.
    Bigger tyres which are more comfortable.
    Better acceleration.
    
    You only go bigger if you want to fit bigger brakes and that is very unlikely on a saxo unless your running a boosted set up. The standard saxo brakes are actually pretty good.

    16s for good looks.
    
    15s for cheap tyres

    16s look too big and tyres are expensive
    
    15s look good and fit well..also handle better

    IMO anything over 15s look a bit out of proportion on a Sax/106, also like the above have said, 16's are a bitch to get tyres for at a reasonable price (for decent shoes anyway) for example on my 195/55/R15's on my Corsa i paid 47quid each for Toyo Proxes T1-Rs! 15s all day long buddy!

    i had 16" oz super t on mine but i had to cut the rear bumper bracket to stop it cutting into the tyre when it bottomed out. tyres were more expensive and had less choice than 15's. id probably go for 15's with low profile tyres. or toyo r888's for shits n giggles.

    Don't forget you can easily fit 283mm brakes behind 15" 1.2's - far more than enough for all setups (including 400+bhp). You can, with trickery, fit 300mm behind them too.
    
    16"'s won't handle as nicely, and will be more crashy. They also weigh more so unsprung weight is up = not good.
    
    Stick to 15"'s
