I'm assuming externals, I vote tibias. Not only is it easier to hide with baggy pants, you'll be able to walk slightly better.

Proportions differ per individual, there's no definitive answer. Either way it's nothing to get paranoid over for your modest goal.

The way I see it, proportions don't matter unless you do a crazy number on a single segment.

Not even us obsessed, potential LLers notice when people have shorter or longer forearms than "normal". Human variation is ingrained into our minds and taken for a given in our subconscious. It's no different for legs, unless we are talking about an absurd amount lengthened. Way more people on this board have been asked about their scars than their proportions (I can't recall one instance of the latter case). If you don't worry about it, others also won't. The scars are a way more real concern. Those are my 2 cents.

Case in point, even that Apo thread has mixed reactions. Some say his proportions are way off, some say he looks good... And that's after almost 20 cm.

Mirin,

  Based on my experiences, people don't realize proportions after LL if you don't specifically mention it. The majority of people don't know about LL. Even those who know will not be able to tell someone got LL just by looking at their proportions. Its really difficult.

I also want to add that at your height, you are significantly taller than most LL-ers. Because LL will be a smaller percentage of your height relatively speaking, the change in proportions will be even less noticeable. You have nothing to worry about.
