I assume your header is 2 - 2x12s with 1/2" plywood core screwed or nailed?

I'd guess the 16" OC wall. The beam could be sufficient depending upon the load you anticipate will be on it.
The load bearing center beam in the basement of my cape consists of a 3 - 2"x12" beam on lolly columns ... 1 1/2 story cape. Walls are 2x4 16" OC and holds heavy snow loads just fine.
