That's the tough part. It will all depend on how you want to sit on your bike,.etc.etc. The only way to find out is to try out several until you find the right position but I'm not sure if that's feasible for you. Your local bike shop is your next best bet.
If you lived in the SF Bay Area I'd offer my help as I have a few different stems that will fit your bike.
