Are you trying to do it one handed? Depends on how fast you go and what else is going on but I usually do them RLRL if it's at any regular rock song tempo or above.
I use all wrist, plus an 8th note-rate forearm movement at faster tempos. Often I'll put my index finger on top of the stick, the way some Latin guys do-- that helps you play low, which is a big help. I'm not a big fan of deciding on the technique beforehand-- I think if you just do them a lot you'll find a technique that works for you. Also look at videos of Marky Ramone, James Gadson, Jeff Porcaro, or any number of Brazilian drummers-- they are all masters of this.
Have a look at Jeff Porcaro's video from round 5-8m in.
Not sure how you can keep up one handed, smooth 16ths at a decent tempo. I use RLRL. Fast 8th notes with no accents a la Ramones I use one hand.
One handed 16ths played with a sort of moeller technique, accenting on and off, every 2 16th notes sound really nice and fluid but are hard to pull off well.

Tom Sawyer by Rush would be a good example of 16ths with one hand played with a straight 'linear feel' with no accents. Listen to that if you haven't heard it yet. It's famous as song amongst drummers so I'd presume you have?
