My ball lock QD's are 1/4" barbed.. is that the standard?

I have a mini-fridge keggerator setup with my first keg in there with 3 feet of beer line, 1/4 ID. Not happy with the pour, I did some reasearch and apparnetly that's a terrible line length to line thickness ratio..

Should I get 3/16? If so, how long? And can I fit that onto the 1/4 QD?
 
Yes 3/16 line fits a 1/4 barb. Just dip the end of the hose in boiling water for 10 seconds then it will stretch right on. I would use at least 8-10 feet
