My boys both rode the small enduros, but I would have loved to see them on a Rebel (my youngest is 6'4")!

You should be able to try a couple bikes and see what is best.

I agree about the forward foot position - I would have a hard time with it.

Don't be too worried about getting one or both feet flat on the ground. The bikes are small and light, and if you do end up riding a full-size dirt bike you will most likely not be able to touch flat-foot anyway.

It will work out fine. Relax and have fun. Everyone there is learning, and some have never tossed a leg over a cycle before.
