I use Speer No-tangle lines about 10' long
Length wise I make sure I have enough to setup in porch mode for the corners, center & door lines are shorter. I use 1.25mm Z-Line from ZPacks.
I use 1.75mm Zing-it for everything except the hmock suspension. Overkill for most things but it's easier to have one do-it-all line.
As to length, I use 6' guy lines on one side and 10' on the other. That gives me the option of setting up on the side of a steep slope or tying out one side to other trees for a porch mode setup.
I use 8ft lengths of Zing-it for everything except the doors, which are 3 ft sections of shock cork with cord locks and mitten hooks. The panel pulls are shock corded together with a 8ft length of Zing-it off of the shock cord.
4ft for all except the corners which are 10 ft for porch mode.
I use 1mm poly sheathed marine dyneema.
8' 3 season
0-12" winter
lash-it (amsteel?)
8', 1.75 Zing-it, with a loop on each end, continuous loop prussiks attached to the tie-outs, and with tubing tensioners.
8' on corners. 12' for side panel pulls.
6' on four corners. That's it.
