Custom bike choices..need input

So I'm 6'7''...285lbs (for now )
Getting a custom frame and got an email with some choices from the builder.
Research has not been helpful .
Thought I'd post the email for some feedback....here it is....


"I have been working on your drawing and think I have it pretty much dialled in. I am attaching the layout with 700X35 wheels and fenders and also 29X2.2 wheels no fenders. If you do run the 29X2.2 fenders there won't be room for fenders.
This should be a very sure footed touring machine. If am going to use my oversize "big boy" tubing due to your weight and the size of the frame. It will be 2-3 inches longer than your existing bike depending on stem length. I have made incorporated quite a long headtube to reduce the number of spacers. I will make sure we leave lots of extra room on the steerer tube so we can raise the bar if need be.

Please give the drawings a look over and get back to me with questions.

thanks"


Which would you go for ?
