Typical XLR length

Just curious, I typically use 25' cables for mics. What length do you use?

I made them myself to specs, but for the drum micing and the size of my room, I created a whole bunch of 20's.
I believe that, for Mic level signal, the shortest path is the optimum.

It's been eon's since I delved deep into the XLR pile and checked, but I'm sure most of them are 20' or 25'. There's also a handful each of 15' and 6' cables, plus a pair of 50' XLR. I know there's one really long one...like 80' that used to run from an iso booth, up over the live room ceiling that terminated in the control room.

FWIW I also made a half dozen short XLR cables, M to M and F to F. Those are really short, 18" or 2' at most.
