Some new thoughts:
1. Tailoring! Two guys at my school are short but stocky and they swear it's the way to go, though you will end up paying about $50 (in our area, central Texas) to have the gi top taken in around the waist, sleeves shortened, and pants shortened.
2. For me (5'2" and now walking around at about 135, grr) I'm loving the Lucky gi (Lovato signature version) top in an A1, but the pants are a little tight in the booty.
3. My GTMA pink and purple gis have stretched a bit and now fit perfectly. Also, got a green Hsu gi from badgerlandjiujitsu.com and a 3 (different sizing) fits perfectly too...
4. I have a Kyra Gracie magenta thing in F2; it's barely legal by IBJJF sizing standards (though not in color) so it's great for competition... extremely hard to get a grip on pants or sleeves, and nice slim fit to the top. My Atama female-fit F3 in white also fits well but is a touch looser while not being baggy in any way.

I have a men's Atama (free with the sign up from my first day), a Gameness, a women's blue Atama, the White/Pink War gi, a Vulkan, and a Lucky gi.
The Lucky Gi is by FAR my favorite! I love the way it fits, the knee pads are nice and I think it looks sweet! (the pants shrink up a little high though, since I'm super short mine are still okay, but just be aware of it)
The women's Atamas shrink a little strange (even if you're careful) and I saw a few people not allowed to fight at Mundials and Pan Ams in that gi last year because it was too small in some places, but depends on your body style I guess.
My war gi pants never stay tied (the string is really thick, same with the Gameness). But it's nice because the collar is really stiff which makes it a little more difficult for your opponent to secure a grip.
The Vulkan summer weave is nice because it's super light (I bought it to make sure I'd make weight at Pan Ams). I feel like I'm weightless when I wear it to train, lol! Downside is it's super easy to grip.
I think the new OTM Medieval gis are really awesome (that's my next purchase) and they are supposed to be light like a Koral - which are almost as light as a Vulkan summer weave.
Hope this helps!
