Well I'm 4'11" and the medium horsebit hobo is a tad big on me, so it would be perfect on you. As far as color, depends on what color trim you like, brown or white with beige monogram or just the black monogram, chocolate guccisma, or leather (different colors).

i was gonna say....that if you like the size of your speedy 25 then the medium horsebit hobo would be the one to go for. Great choice for a Gucci bag!

Its a matter of preference but I would say the Medium only because what you stated you liked in sizes. I know some others that are petite love the big size bags. You said you liked your Speedy 25 and the 30 but the 30 feels a little big. The large hobo is definitely a big bag.

Wow Shorty. That medium hobo looks really good on you. I can't wait to get mine. I'll gonna get the medium brown trim. Does the white trim get dirty fast?

I would also go for medium if you don't like big bags.

I had the medium guccissima and it was the perfect size. I'm 5 ft. The large is super cute but waaay to big. the brown or white trim are both good choices. The white leather trim holds up pretty good. Good luck and let us know which one you decide to get. Remember to post pics!
