I've ridden 26, 27.5 and 29 - the 2 latter all being modern mtb's. I'm 5'10 and prefer 27.5 - the differences seem subtle but i seem to really benefit from quicker steering, generally having more troubel in tight tech corners with 29er.
My e-mtb is also a 27.5+ (2.8) and i love the extra grip i get over roots and rocks...a 29 plus tire i think would just handle awkward in comparison.
