If you're doing street and trials, then get a 20-inch, even with your height. I think almost everyone is going to recommend a Torker DX:

But I recommend this one, it will compliment your height:

Ok, I'm kidding about the second one, but still, you could get four for the price of the Torker!

Im pretty sure my friend is getting the second one. He has a profile uni but has decided its not his style and wants an upgrade.
EDIT: yeah the Dx is good and probably the strongest for its price.

i might look into long neck frames if i were you. a 400mm seat post might not be long enough for you.

Tim, i was wondering if you wanted to get a new ride too. This one would probably fit your style:
