What are the legal rights of an almost 16-year-old to choose which parent they want to live with when the father currently has custody?

None. Minors are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to live. Since the father now has custodial rights, the mother would have to file a petition requesting she be made the primary custodial parent. The judge might speak with the minor about his or her feeling about their current living arrangement, school, friends, and so forth. However, the decision is always based upon what the court believes is in the best interest of the child and not upon the preference of any involved party. You'll have to sue for custody but the court will usually grant the request of a child that age to live with the parent of their choice.
