Brooks B17 saddle...narrow or regular?

I've decided to get a B17 for Christmas. Can't stand my stock Fuji seat and I really like the idea of a hand-made leather seat from England (lived there in the 80's) that has been unchanged for 100 years. I'm in to that kind of stuff, and anything hand made of leather is cool in my book. Heavy seats, I know...but I'm looking for comfort (and a little old-school style).

So which should I get, narrow or regular? I'm not a racer (yet), but I like to push myself and go as fast as possible. From what I've read on other sites, the narrow seat is more suited for "spirited" rides. Just looking for some input from folks who know these saddles.

Me, I'm 5'8", 175lbs with a pretty big butt. Not fat, I just have stocky legs and a bubble butt. I have my bike set up with about a 2-3 inch drop.
