If I was going to run 2.4" tires, I'd go 29er, but plus-size tires on 29er rims make any bike feel gigantic to me. If I was a tall fellow, I might feel differently.
All that said, I can't imagine not running plus-size, so it's 27.5" for me.
im 5'10 as well legs not long 29er felt huge...but rode well.
