I was wondering would it make a significant difference between 1.6 and 1.67 for my prescription (-5.25 with no astigmatism)?

There can be good and bad of both. Even within the same company. Shop around and find a place you like.

Generally you are going to get better quality with your optometrist though

Get a 1.67 if the frame is larger or semi -rimless.
