I have 18"+ RFTs and I can only imagine how horrible 19" + RFTs would be. I also have EDC. Sport mode is only tolerable on good roads and only if you want to have some fun. It gets exhausting very quickly otherwise. I also live in Surrey, pothole capital of England!
19" is popular with dealers because it costs more and arguably looks sharper (though I personally only like the M-Sport version and hate the other two).
My opinion: If you can go for 18"/EDC, do not hesitate at all. It gives you the best of both: soft and stiff suspension at the flick of a switch. As for the RFT tyres, you'd have to decide if you want to sacrifice a quieter and slightly softer ride for the extra cargo space or not.
