Ideally, a new loom should be easy, efficient, solid, not too expensive and of moderate size - and probably there is no solution that includes 'all of the above'. Probably the most effective solution to 16 shaft weaving is a dobby loom that does not need a tieup and allows the pattern to be changed vis computer file at any point during the weaving - but those are usually rather large and expensive looms. If a countermarche, 256 connections need to be formed to weave 16/16 patterns. if a jack loom, the heavy frames must be lifted. But, tying up any 16 shaft loom takes time. A 16 shaft floor loom with greater width would allow a greater range of fabrics. The hand levers are somewhat slow, but effective and do not require a tieup. The number of shafts and their placement should not be a major issue. With 16 shafts, your pattern repeats will take more threads and unless you weave with very fine thread, are apt to find the narrow width quite limiting.
