20mm FTW! Oh wait, you said stock wheels.
Any size spacer will make your bearings wear faster, so it's up to you.

I'm glad this was posted as I've been thinking about this for a couple days now.
I'm running the same 16" 5 spoke wheels as your old B5 Aledelic, were you running spacers on yours?

yeah those were the stock 16s. 20mm definitely killed both my rear bearings at that height. I now have the spacers on my sky high avant
