It appears that the 54 is more suited to you. As far as your reach is concerned you can get a variety of lengths for your bars.
You may still, even going with the 54 at 15 yrs old, out grow the bike. Ride for the fit now, and see what the future holds when it gets here.

The difference depends on the particular bike. Along with size the top tube length is the other very important factor. This fit can be adjusted somewhat with stem length. If you're close to a 54 and growing I'd go with the 54 for sure.

Andy, you forgot to mention how tall you are and what's your inseam (your legs measurements).
I don't think there's a huge difference between both. If you're comparing two different size frames of the same model of bike, I think you would be safer taking the larger. If you're comparing two different frames, I would suggest you to test each bike and see how it fits you.
