With spine issues, and that includes neck, it's best to test ride to discover the 'best' position for you. Sometimes reclining helps, sometimes it makes things worse. For starters I'd recommend trying something with a fairly upright seat, which would produce a 'neutral' neck position. The further you recline, the further your neck will have to be declined in order to see. That's totally opposite compared to riding an upright. A neck rest might help, too.
