I stand 170cm (is that 5'8" in your units?) above ground and am quite happy with my 150cm (5') long hose.
I'm not very surprised that body size affects which hose length that fits best.
How do you route it?
Down from my single 1st stage, under my right arm, across my chest somewhere between my diaphragm and my chest valve and then around my neck.How do you route it?
It's in yr Buddy check ! 17 dives an I know this! Both sets of regs WERE working when we got into the water.....or We Would Not of Got into The Water... k

Yes, and I agree, but it happens that there are some failure which will not be obvious on the surface. Ideally you check them at depth too.It's in yr Buddy check ! 17 dives an I know this! Both sets of regs WERE working when we got into the water.....or We Would Not of Got into The Water... k
For me, that's the reason for choosing a 150cm long hose. No can light routing, no need to stow or unstow the hose in case of an S-drill or a gas share drill. Just a slight, short pull downwards on the section that lies across my chest after I've routed my hose and put the reg in my mouth.No can light routing.
