You would have more room to maneuver stuff around. I would put the door on the 16′ wall. You would have more room to maneuver stuff around.

Also you would want at least a 3' eave to protect the entry/door from rain/snow. I'm presuming you will go with 12' span trusses ( as they are much less cost than 16' span) . . . you could probably add 2-4' to the "length" (12 x18 or 20) fairly inexpensively if your footprint allows to gain space?
