I suggest picking up 1 of each and decide which one you like better. I like lower resistance atomizers but many prefer higher resistances. Only you will be able to decide for yourself.
Different resistances will affect the flavor some more than others and changing voltages will do the same.

Most of my set ups are on mechanical mods with .8 ohm coils. Everyone has their own preference and I don't think any of them are wrong, what suits you is all that matters.
It really depends on what voltage or wattage you enjoy. If liking a warmer vape then you could try single coil 1.5- 1.7 ohms. Most like to vape at 8- 9 watts. Here's a calculator to help figure out the wattage you're firing at

Realize many juice delivery devices (cartos, clearos, etc) are not as advertised ohms wise.
On my 3.7 volts Kgo I enjoy 1.7 ohms single coil.

This is sort of a subjective question IMO. I vape my mechanical mods at 3.7 volts with either a 2.4 or 2.8 ohm coil (VIVI Nova)and am pleased with the results. Also I find I need to go lower or higher (Resistance) depending on the PG/VG ratio and/or flavor of the juice I am vaping
There is no such thing as optimal, it's just a case of more or less.
But if I had to define optimal as it relates to ohm's law then my answer would be whatever makes you happier.
The best answer here is to get both and see how you like them.

The Super-low-ohm people will confuse you since they use different guage wire and need different amounts of current. Since your question is about stock atomizers/cartos/etc we need to focus on those.
Then the wattage info is ....more compatible. Anyway...the others are correct...vape what you like. However, I'd stick with 2.0 ohm stuff if it was me. The 1.5 ohm stock stuff can get a bit hot and burn some juices at 3.7 volts. This, of course, is a generalization not a specific preference. They have 1.7 ohm stuff too. You just have to try it.
Remember: "Standard ohms" are about 2.3 ish to 2.5 ish. And top-coil clearos get hot.
Now....for the innokin iclear 16......is that a dual coil?????? THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!
The dual coil stuff needs more amps. And the coils are double the ohm rating each. (Having 2 coils halves the ohms). So a 1.5 ohm Dual-coil clearo is really two 3.0 ohm coils. See?
So if it's a DC.....get the 1.5 ohms and pray your PV can put out double the amps without cutting out since you're basically vaping "a double barreled carto" and it needs to power two coils at the same time.
Get some single coil stuff as a backup.
When you get into dual coils you need to give specifics as to device used too...

A single coil 1.5 will draw around 2.5 amps at 3.7 volts, the dual coil 1.5 ohm is two 3.0 ohm coils each drawing 1.25amps for a total of 2.5amps........it's not the dual coil aspect that nails your ego battery, it's anything under 2.0 ohms.
For the OP, the 2.0 ohm iclear 16's are plenty of vapor and you'll get better battery life.
1) Which eGo battery is he using?
2) People use 1.5 ohms stuff on eGo batts all the time. There used to be a problem...not anymore...that I know of. That's 2 year old info. Design change. Also, if a coil shorts (no matter what ohms) kiss the eGo units goodbye.
3) Many devices have a 2.5 amp limit. Which is why I said...he needs to specify.
Yep I use single 1.7 ohms and the batt does drain quicker but I vape less because the vape is exactly what I want and need.

The battery i'm using is an 1100 mah ego passthrough that i got from crazyvapors.com. Not sure of the brand, but i'm assuming it is an innokin, since that seems to be what they carry.
Because the iClear 16 and the 30 are both dual coil I won't use either, but that's just me.
Personal opinion/preference of course, but the idea is to get a nice enjoyable vape, not a cloud of vapor that you can't see through or TH that makes smoke come out your ears. Even with my RDA's on a mechanical PV I use 2+ ohm coils. With your eGo battery I would use single coil 1.7 or 2 ohm cartos, or 1.8 or 2.4 ohm clearos.

Is that innokin iclear 16 a dual coil? You may not get the amps. I'd need specs (or a link) to the specific battery. Basically if it's dual coil the amp limit comes into play due to the fact that resistance is lower for the voltage available due to having two coils. For a single coil, you can use higher resistance thus less amps needed. It get's confusing to explain.
Although the unit doesn't know single-coil from dual-coil (it only "knows" the resistance) the numbers play out differently. Using a 2.0 ohm dual coil means that you have two 4 ohm coils at 3.7 volts. Meh. I run single 3.0 ohm coils at about 5 volts.
You'll get a better vape with a 2.0 single coil than a 2.0 ohm dual coil on the unit IMHO (assuming you like a warmer vape). This is, of course, a generalization. If the DC carto is amp starved because the battery can't put out the amps, the voltage suffers....as in the 1.5 ohm case (DC or single). And the vape is worse because the ohms of each coil are really higher in the DC case.
Dual-coil stuff gives people fits all the time.
So the real question 1st is....is that the dual coil carto? (The search I did turned up dual coil).

^^^^^^^excellent advice. Many of my converts that began with a 3.7 volt PV believed "dual coil" meant double the power and vape when it's actually the opposite.
Yes, it is dual coil. the site also carries replacement heads at 2.1ohm and 2.4ohm. what's your opinion on me maybe just going with a single coil 2.4 ohm clearo? i do enjoy a warmer vape if that helps. Also, this is a link to the battery, not much info though.

That's OK. 2.0 ohms single coil is better IMO for 3.7 volts.
If you can, try out 1.5, 2.0 and 2.4 ohms and see what you like. I find 1.5 ohms a bit hot for a single coil at 3.7 but that's me.
Just remember that DC stuff is double the ohms per coil. So for fixed voltage....it's like a 3 or 4 ohm coil...but two of them. So you get double the cooler-crummy vapor
I need 4.8 volts for 3.0 ohm coils (1.5 ohm DC). But that's me.
