Nothin like frosty brew

I'm going to be cutting my lines to size tonight. Using the excel sheet beer line length calculator and plugging in all the variables, with 3/16" line, I'm getting lengths much shorter than 10' for my desired temp/vol combo (in the 4 to 5' range). So if I may reiterate B-Dub's question... For the guys with 10' lines are you using 3/16" or 1/4" lines?6 foot lines (3/16") at 44 and 13-14 psi.
I was at 36 for the last year, but I think having the temp up higher allows the flavors to come through better right out of the tap.
Question: For you guys that have 10' lines. 3/16" line right?

Thanks SM, your response is exactly what I was looking for. I've got plenty of line and I'll be starting with 10'.I use 3/16 at 10 ft, 38 degrees, 10 psi. That's what works for me anyway.
FWIW, I plugged my info into some of those line-length calculators, and they usually said I should be using 4 ft lines. I started with 6 foot lines (foam foam foam) and eventually replaced with 10 ft. Now it's all good.
An aside, it's cheaper and easier to trim lines that are too long than it is to replace lines that are too short. I'd start with longer than you believe you need.
40-45F, depending on the weather outside since my 'rator is in the garage and I don't have a controller on it...
