Isaac,
Sounds like you've got a great start on catamaran sailing experience. It's hard to go wrong with a Hobie 16 in your case, it is a bigger stronger hobie 14 so all you have to learn is rigging the jib. Nothing wrong with a Prindle 16, just not as many to play with.
If you will be sailing solo most of the time, keep on the lookout for a Hobie 17. Nice performance and designed as a single hander.
This one is sold, but gives an idea
