Lead length depends on what you are fishing. Generally, if you are fishing DRIES or emergers it will depend on how clear the water is and how spooked the fish are. 7' to 12' leaders. Nymphing is not so critical.
I use furled leaders but for the knotless tapered leaders I would say a 7 1/2' leader and matching or one size smaller tippet in 12" to 20" length
This length leader will cover just about anything.
There has been some Gin Clear waters that I had to use a 12' leader and stay very low.
