You can only install software Apple digitally signs. Apple is no longer signing iOS 10 for 6s Plus, only regular 6s.
I would've recommended upgrading to iOS 10 since it was faster than iOS 9 for 6s, iOS 11 is similar in speed.
iOS 11.1 runs great on my 6s Plus.
If you want to upgrade then do so, it’s worth it for security updates.

Not true, 11.0.1, 11.0.2 and 11.0.3 are also available as well as iOS 11.2 beta.
You can't be stuck on anything that isn't the latest version for the device. For example, any iPhone 5 can install 10.3.3 since iOS 10 is the last version for iPhone 5.
Eventually, you might get forced in to updating your iPhone to latest iOS.
Plus app developers will stop supporting iOS 9 and iOS 10. So if you want latest app updates, you’ll have to install ios11.
It’s not that bad. Apple is doing a pretty good job addressing issues and sending out new updates.
iOS 11 is not even close to the mess that some are making it out to be. 11.2 beta 1 is pretty much perfect IMO. I say go with the upgrade.
Bugs, slowdowns on older devices compared to 10.3.3 and decreased battery life.
Maybe on an iPhone 8. Not so much on a 6. I'm sticking with 10.3.3 for a long time until Apple can show that they have on par performance in iOS 11.
You missed your chance to get 10. It ran great on my 6s (and was faster and smoother than 9 ever was right from the start). 11 is about the same as 10, but with worse battery life...
IMO staying behind 1 ios iteration is not that bad (i stayed most of this year on ios9 on my 6s) however staying 2 ios iterations behind would be too much for me...security improvements, new file system, etc...
Well with iOS 10 my 6s still had 50-60% at the end of a typical work day (after coming off the charger in the morning), now it struggles to make it through the day without a top up. It's also the most commonly reported issue with iOS 11...
