150 pounds at 6'0 is a small build, your body size would be best at weak side LB. Faster, versatile LB that can drop back in coverage and ball hawk. Perfect position for a CB to play in the front seven.
If anything, it's best to build your frame bigger to play strong side LB well. If you think your size is fine as it is, go to strong side LB because that position is mainly tackling. If you think your best attribute to the team is your tackling, might as well take on strong side.
If you think you aren't fast, best to surrender your position to a speedier guy and take on an average speed position such as LB.
