Different lettuce?

We are growing a Bavarian lettuce at the moment, it gets awfully big for the NFT right at the end of its growing. Being up to a foot tall, that tends to lean the plant over and the stem to grow in an s shape. I was wondering if I should switch to a bib lettuce? They are smaller and I am a bit concerned we may not get big enough heads. I know we are going to run every other rail with romain to free up some room.

I am going to build a DWC this week and see whitch I like better. Not sure how the Bavarian would do in it where the lettuce can grow a vertical counter balance.

What do you think?
