Your hub will take a freewheel sprocket. 16t is fine depending on what you have on the other side, keep it within 1 tooth so your wheel will fit in the drop outs without needing to chain the number of links in the chain. Well you need to know where the axle is in the drop out first to know which tooth count will work.
Except for the mountain bike, all my bikes have drop bars, including my FG/SS Langster. Only one has a "track: bar or criterium bar. The disadvantage of that bar is hand position, there are fewer comfortable positions. It is made to provide clearance of the rider's forearms while in the drops, which is all the time.
I have been thinking to change to bull horns as I ride on the top of the bars most of the time.
