Up to you.  It just move the pipe further from the mount if you get the long one.  But if you are putting a pipe up...

You can if you want, but it doesn't matter.

The channel just sets some identifier bits that the consoles use to discriminate devices of the same type.

The bridge doesn't care at all as it must listen to all devices anyway.

So you'd go with longer? The 3-1 is lighter then the 5-1 so that's a good thing. How high you think I should go with j-point before it moves around to much?

IIRC the pipe I used was eight feet so with the J-mount that gets it close to 9 feet up.  Good enough  for me.

Yea but that's if I get the smaller j-mount right? What about with the large J-mount? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DFS49U/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I dunno.  Have you considered measuring?
