Based on postings from some of TFL's elder statesmen, I went with a 2" taper on my Chips. It makes a huge difference in fit. The fit jacket sent by TB was a Highwayman.
Dan_T's idea to check out other patterns is intriguing, but if you decide to stay with the Highwayman, a taper is the way to go. Your build seems to be made for it.
I would add a bit on the sleeve too, like you said. During my fit process I recall being told to expect some shortening (.5"?, I seriously can't remember right now) once the creases start to form. Definitely a discussion to have with Carrie.
