Depends on the stage, but as short as possible. Maybe it's different if your instrument is active. I like either 10' or wireless.

Shortest necessary. For me, this is 10' to board and 25' from board to amp.

a lot of factors.... the size of the stage, how much you move around or work the crowd.

I usually use a 12 foot for bar/smaller club dates and a 20 foot for anything else. I tend to walk to the front of the stage for the bigger stages...

I can't believe that this is actually a question.

Coily cable ftw - a 30ft cable can stretch to 20'+ and will remain at your side if you're next to your board/amp

Coily cable. Definitely, at least for me. Class, and no clutter.

+1

I usually stick with 20 feet (guitar to board and board to amp). If I'm on a large stage, I'll go wireless.

How do you get back to your amp when you're all plugged in?
