Personally, I'd buy 10 feet because I don't like to re-use tubing, and I always end up cutting at least one segment too short and having to throw it out.

With excess tubing, you can re-do your layout without ordering more from some distributor.

Re-using tubing has a greater chance of leaking because it's already stretched out and thus has an inferior seal with the barbed fittings.
