Default 15mm or 20mm spacers

Hello everyone!
I am looking to get a set of spacers for my rear and wondering everyone's opinion as to which ones give a more aggressive look. All comments will be appreciated and all personal experiences and personal opinions (yes spacers, no spacers, 15, 20, etc.) would be great! Also if anyone has pictures of their babies with spacers on please post the pics as well so I can visually see them as well.
THANKS TO EVERYONE IN ADVANCE!

I'm in the same boat, do you have a drop?

If so, from the reasearch i've done in the wheels/suspension section, 20/20 can work all around on a mild drop. I see popular combo is 15mm front and 20mm rear. I am leaning toward 15mm front and 25mm rear on the sport wheels...dropped on TEIN

20s all around is very nicely flush, you could get away with 25mm in the rear.

I am running 20mm in front / 25mm in back. No drop. No problems! I really like the look! I went Ichaba hub-centric of course! Do it!

Same here. 15 front 20 rear. It could use another 5mm for both front and rear, but after adjusting cambers it should look quite flush.

20mm all around. I am lowered on Swifts and even under the hardest conditions, I get no rubbing and no vibrations at high speeds.
