I also usually use 7 and 1/2. I will use 9 ft if needed because of easily spooked fish. I only occasionally bother with tippet anymore as when I use 6x leader I seemed to get by without it just fine. I'll switch from fishing a small dry to a #10 tungsten beadhead nymph on the 6x tapered leader with only about 30 second break in the fishing. I try to keep it as simply as possible as I'm lazy and I don't catch any fish when I'm messing with my setup
