Blake, I'd go with the 205/55-16s. I've driven my SVX in snow and slush with 225/50s, and I think the narrower tire would have to be better. 205/55-16 is also the winter tire size recommended by Discount Tire (www.tires.com).

Let us know what you end up getting and what you think of them.

Go skinny. The skinnier the better (to a point). Watch rally racing in the snow. They use skinny tires. Skinny tires work better in the snow.

I wonder if those are replacements for the old Dunlop Graspics?
I had very good results with Graspics for several winters on my SVX. They wore out and I currently don't have any winter-only tires on the car. The Swift has Blizzaks and the Impreza is running on Guardex's. Of the three, I would give the nod to the Blizzaks for best grip, but they wear very quickly. And the narrower, the better...
