I got 508s. I called them and asked what I should get. they said 5'8" and under go with 508 over 5'8" go with 518.
also make sure you replace the bushing. the stock bushing isn't capable of holding wider/taller bars. the bars will slip.

I don't have a pic but put on either the 504 or 508 (can't remember which) due to upper back/spine problems. The bar made a world of difference from a comfort standpoint and extended my riding time significantly. At first my wrists did tire after a bit due to the different bar angle, but that quickly faded and now I don't feel it all. I'd recommend a Chubby in a heartbeat.

I'm 6'2" and I feel completely relaxed and natural.
No one can tell you with complete certainty which bars are best for you...you need to do your homework.
Do as Whiskers suggested and check out the sticky.

I have ridden ~3000 miles with the WO508s and love them, though I can understand why it took a few days to get used to the wrist angle. It was not uncomfortable for me and I do not notice it any longer. I think the best part is no more leaning forward. I am 5ft8in with a 30in inseam, with an ever growing waist line . . . I like that these are made in the USA. I chose them through a myriad of research on this forum.
