What should I evolve my Eevee to?

I have a Level 16 96% Eevee. What should I evolve my eevee to: Espeon or Umbreon?

I have a 98% Jolteon, 96 Vape, 82% Flareon, 89 Espeon and 78% Umbreon.

Espeon. If you want a dark mon. (Umbreon) then there are better options. Tyranitar and Houndoom foe example

Unless you need something immediately AND you have the Candy and Stardust to raise that Eevee up to a useable level, I'd suggest actually holding it until the next Eevee evolutions come out. Or until there is confirmation as to whether Breeding will be part of PoGo or not; with a 96%, you've got 1 stat at 15 at least, and no stat below 13, meaning it's likely going to be really good for breeding.

So unless you have a pressing immediate need, I'd suggest just Starring it and waiting for the future.

Really, till gen 4? And they even don't looks that good.

Yep. If you've got a Level 16 Eevee, you're not looking to power it up - it costs way too much Stardust for a Pokémon that is really nice... but common enough that it's likely you'll catch a Level 25-30 Eevee with at least one good stat (like an Attack of 13+) that you can evolve to use for battling. The amount of Stardust it would take to bring a Level 16 up to a useful level is prohibitive now - save that Stardust for a different Mon.

So at that point, why not simply wait for Gen 4, and have a high IV Eevee for those new Eevolutions?

If meta will stay about the same, there will be no incentive power it up as gen 4 form either.
So I'll not keep it till gen 4, I'll just keep it till i need it.

Personally, I'd wait for a higher level Eevee. I evolved the first high-IV Eevee (level 16 too) I got after gen2 to Espeon with name trick, and he's been level 16 all his life, occasionally he sits in a gym. I'm waiting on an Eevee with 10+ atk IV at level 25+ to walk for Espeon. I messed up and walked a 13 atk level 30 for Umbreon, only to realize how poorly he attacks.

tl;dr: I'd wait for higher level, Espeon if you really want or need it.

You can literally get the stardust in a single day to power it from 16-20.
So you're telling us if you were to HATCH the same Eevee, you wouldn't invest in it either?

Correct. I'm probably not the best source tho since I don't follow the typical investment strategy. I don't generate dust quickly (I'm down to playing roughly an hour a day) and so high level is my highest priority, followed by atk iv at 10+. I don't keep many hatches, unless perfect or doesn't evolve, so I would have tossed that Eevee cause I need more dust to invest in my level 27+ mons. That's just me tho, if I had triple the dust (~230k), I might go for an Espeon. I think 230k is right, less than 80k for 16->30.

Espeon or hold off until the newer ones come out in a year or so. Power it up in between as well so you don't get bored then when it comes time for the new name trick, you will be already set.

the dust cost is 18k to get to level 20 so 1-2 days extra grinding for most players. So wouldn't necessarily say it is prohibitive it depends on how much you want it.
