Personally, I find the the siemens S70s in Seattle to be quite nice. I like how they kept the low floor section of the LRVs open and spacious for accessibility and standing room, which appears to make up around 60% of the interior space, while concentrating most of the seating in the high floor sections near the cabs.
The only issue that comes to mind with the high-floor/low-floor mix is that such LRVs might not be able to achieve lengthy configurations like the citadis.

If Ottawa did go high-floor but still decided to use LRT tech, the S200s would be a great canadate.
