what mixer for 16 track reel to reel

That's another good reason to have extra channels. You could have different setups spread across the board, although that is probably something that someone with a bunch of keyboards would find convenient.
 
With the M520 and a 16 track. I have it set up like this;

Channels 1 through 16....tape in and outs via direct out
Channels 17 through 20....effects returns. So I have either 2 stereo returns or 4 mono
Usuallly I run stereo just for reverbs/delays.

All channels have direct inserts as well for individual effects on a specific channel.

In addition, I'm running protools through the console via the line inserts on each channel. So I can go back and forth from tape to protools at the flick of a switch.

To be honest , 20 channels along with a 8 buss and a separate monitor section has been plenty. No need for more channels
With a couple of patchbbays there's not much I can't do with 16 tracks.

Been working for me for years.
:D
