I don't think you would go wrong with either. Depending on your scope, other factors such as Mag., and Tfov and ER might have bearing on the decision. A bit more power with the 13mm which usually means a little darker backround, but a bit larger Tfov with the 16mm. Also 10mm of ER relief in the 16T5 is a bit too close for me, YVMV. Decisions/ decisions, gotta love it. I've never use the 16T5 but my 13T6 get used every time I go out.
Just my $.02

I've used the 16mm T5 a few times and I've always found that the eye relief is too tight, I have to press my eye against the eyepiece to get a good view. I only own one Nagler and it's a 13mm T6. It is deffinitely my most used eyepiece and I don't have to get uncomfortably close to it to get a nice view. Unless the 13mm would yield too much power I would deffinitely pick it over the 16mm T5.
