The hilt doesn't matter to me, I can adjust to a long hilt, or a short hilt. I do prefer a 9-11 inch hilt, to give me room to use both hands. Shorter hilts need a shorter blade for me, since I will usually be using one hand.
I like my blades and hilt to be 46 inches in total length. (the difference would be made up of the blade itself since its easier to change the length of the blade, rather then the hilt. I am 5'8\
Keep in mind if you are duel weilding weight, not length is the determining factor to use when deciding which blade to handle with your main hand.
